Are the not the same ?
The issue with any mast is wherevto put it and who it helps or not. Thinking not in my back yard ideas electrosencibility etc.
Orange wanted to put one in our village, great idea as we would get paid for its position, and get better service. But the next village got the info so wanted it in there carpark. In the end orange are going to put it on the roundabout between us and the local council gets the funds.
No. Fixed wireless is like this. We have a device on our roof. It communicates with a tower on a hill about 1Km distant. The tower serves all our neighbours within line of sight of the tower. The tower then links to internet with fibre. The link belongs to the house, you cant move it. It carries our landline phone and internet traffic. You can also use it to receive a TV broadcast signal.
Mobile phones are non-fixed… ie you can move them around between towers.
The point of fixed wireless is it replaces cables or is cheaper than laying cables over long distances. In some cases they use infrared technology instead of wireless.
Ok follow that now. They tried that near where I lived before but it was slow and un reliable so quickly dropped but that was 15 years ago and technology moves so quickly
