The company focuses on providing internet services to underserved and rural communities where wired options may be limited or unavailable. Service is wireless, hence the name “unWired.”

Central California encompasses numerous rural communities that grapple with sluggish or unreliable internet connections due to inadequate cable and fiber infrastructure. Thankfully, fixed wireless internet emerges as a promising solution for these areas. Fixed wireless technology employs towers that transmit internet signals wirelessly within a radius of up to 10 miles. By setting up a small radio and antenna near your residence or building, technicians establish a direct line-of-sight connection with a local tower, ensuring optimal signal strength. This connection is then linked to your router.

Central California enjoys an advantage with fixed wireless internet, thanks to its relatively flat terrain, which facilitates unobstructed line-of-sight connections. The scarcity of hills or large trees means fewer barriers, making it easier to establish reliable connections. Unlike other rural internet alternatives, fixed wireless networks are more dependable due to the close proximity of transmission towers and are less susceptible to weather-related disruptions like rainfall or extreme heat. Moreover, fixed wireless equipment demonstrates resilience in withstanding the scorching summers typical of Central California.

Fixed wireless internet offers flexibility, allowing for tailored solutions that cater to your specific requirements. Service providers present various packages with diverse speeds and data limits, empowering you to select the option that aligns with your budget and usage patterns. Additionally, should you decide to relocate, fixed wireless internet can be effortlessly transferred to your new location, rendering it a convenient choice for residents of Central California.

While satellite, DSL, and cellular hotspots all present viable options for rural internet in Central California, fixed wireless internet stands out as a superior choice.
