What to expect with fixed wireless installation:
One of our expert installers will visit your premises for a site inspection. Together we’ll plan and agree on where to locate the pole antenna, cabling and router to ensure the most direct line of sight to the Vanilla tower. View our location gallery.
We install a high-quality radio antenna at the best vantage point with clear visibility to Vanilla’s 'high site.' Cables from the antenna connect to your router, conveniently positioned near your workstation. Take a look at our Antenna setups and Cabling galleries.
Last but not least, we configure a MikroTik router and an optional access point to act as a WiFi hotspot for all your wireless devices. Trust us to get it right. Need a business SLA? No problem, chat to us about double redundant links and extended technical support.
Each fixed wireless install is unique, dependent on your location and needs. Optionally, our dedicated point-to-point fixed wireless setups offer reliable performance that compares well to fibre. Take a look at our standard pricing for home and business use.

Fixed Wireless internet is a type of high-speed internet service that uses radio signals to connect your home or business to the internet. Instead of using fibre or copper lines, it relies on a wireless signal transmitted from a local tower directly to a receiver at your location.
Fixed Wireless is a great option if fibre isn't available in your area. It's often quicker to install, more flexible, and can reach rural or remote areas where laying fibre cables isn't practical. Plus, it still offers reliable, high-speed internet without the need for extensive infrastructure.
With Fixed Wireless broadband, you can typically get speeds ranging from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps, depending on your location and the service provider. Vanilla Fixed Wireless offers unshaped, unthrottled connection with ultra-low contention ratios, making it a solid alternative to fibre connections.
