Plains Internet is a Wireless Internet Service Provider, or WISP, located in Amarillo that provides internet services to many towns and cities in the Texas Panhandle. What are the benefits of Wireless Internet? Primarily, the benefits are in terms of coverage. Wireless can expand farther and faster than wired companies simply by means of the media... through which it is delivered. Other benefits include: reliability, cost, and most WISPs are privately owned local companies. How Does Your Service Work? The company uses point to multi-point wireless technology to relay signal from the company's tower to a receiver the company would mount on your house or business. From the receiver the company has to run a cable into your house or business to provide internet to your devices. What Type of Gear do You Mount and Where? Depending on how far you are from the tower, the company uses two types of antennas. At close enough distances, the company uses a small rectangular one. At longer distances the company uses a dish about the size of a pizza. In either instance, the company need to mount on a high place on the house, typically the roof, although sometimes the eves or other locations are possible. Do You Have to Drill Into My Roof?Read More
