Any entrepreneur, ISP or business customer can set up a WISP using off-the-shelf wireless networking equipment based on 802.11 standards.  While most WISPs use 802.11 technology, a WISP could also use the appropriate equipment and buy licensed portions of spectrum to accomplish the same objective. Either way, wireless systems have many advantages over wired systems such as Digital Subcriber Line (DSL) or cable modems.

    Building wireless networks can be a challenge if you don't know how to calculate a Radio Frequency (RF) link budget or how to use a spectrum analyzer to see what type of RF environment already exists in a potential service area.  BWE consultants have built systems in many different environments that range from very sparsely populated areas with no RF activity to very dense population centers with many types of RF activity.

     To make it easy for customers to deploy these types of systems, BWE developed a turnkey or pre-packaged solution for people that don't have time to do the research or evaluate many different types of wireless networking gear.  BWE's leading team of RF and Internet Protocol (IP) experts put together a complete broadband wireless solution that takes all the guesswork and headaches out of launching a WISP business.

    Turning to BWE for helpful advice on planning, building and launching a wireless ISP will help you avoid many of the mistakes that are typically made by people with no RF or IP experience.  BWE's Wireless ISP solution and network design provides a well thought out plan that will allow you to get a system up and running quickly.

    In addition to building the system, BWE will provide training classes that will enable you to become a certified RF engineer.  By the time you finish our training classes, you will be an expert on installing, troubleshooting and planning for your network's future growth.

     Building a WISP in your neighborhood, city or town is the quickest and most cost effective way to get high-speed Internet connections for schools, municipal offices, libraries, residents and local businesses.

     While wireless technology may be new to you and your area, there are more than 2,400 wireless ISPs operating successfully in the U.S. alone.   This group of entrepreneurs is busy showing the rest of the world that the "broadband wireless" model is an extremely effective way to migrate customers from old dialup connections to very fast broadband connections without investing millions of dollars on capital expenditures usually associated with building wired DSL or cable modem broadband systems. 

     The best part about a wireless system is the fact that the signal travels through the air, which means you don't have to worry about running a pair of wires to every single customer.
