Study Notes
Nomad Internet: Fixed Wireless Explained
-
Nomad Internet uses fixed wireless technology to provide internet service in rural areas.
-
This method mimics a walkie-talkie system, using radio waves instead of cables.
Key Components of Fixed Wireless
-
Outdoor Antenna: Placed outside the home, acts as the receiver for signals from the base station. Needs a good placement for clear reception. (Think: your personal walkie-talkie)
-
Base Station: A large, central transmitter located on a tower or building, broadcasting signals to multiple users in the area. (Think: your friend's powerful walkie-talkie)
-
Modem/Router: Processes the signals from the antenna, converting them into a format usable by your devices, and manages the internet connection for your home.
How Fixed Wireless Works: The Signal Transmission
-
Signal Transmission: The base station transmits signals to the customer's outdoor antenna.
-
Signal Reception: The outdoor antenna receives the signals from the base station.
-
Inside Processing: The modem converts the received signals into usable data for your devices.
-
Internet Communication: Your router manages the information flow between your devices and the internet. Your requests to access the internet are sent via the modem, out to the antenna, and back again. This is a two-way communication.
