How Nomad Internet Works
Nomad Internet works by using "Fixed Wireless" to serve customers! Curious about how Nomad Internet gets you online in rural areas without cables? Think of it like using walkie-talkies! Instead of long, messy cables, we use “Fixed Wireless” technology, where radio waves do the heavy lifting.
With an outdoor antenna (your home’s “walkie-talkie”) communicating with a big base station (the “walkie-talkie” on a tower), and your modem/router acting like the control center, you get seamless internet at home. It’s quick to set up and perfect for rural areas, businesses, and even events.

How Fixed Wireless Works:
Imagine you want to send a message to your friend who lives in a different house. Instead of writing a letter and sending it through the mail, you decide to use walkie-talkies. Here’s how fixed wireless is like using walkie-talkies:
What is Fixed Wireless?
Fixed wireless is like having a special walkie-talkie system that lets your house connect to the internet without needing a bunch of cables. It uses radio waves, which are like invisible lines that carry information through the air.
Key Parts
Outdoor Antenna (Your Walkie-Talkie): This is like your walkie-talkie that you put outside on the roof or the side of your house. It needs to be in a good spot to hear your friend’s walkie-talkie clearly.
Base Station (Your Friend’s Walkie-Talkie): This is like your friend’s walkie-talkie, but it's much bigger and usually on a tall tower or building far away. It listens to all the walkie-talkies in the area and sends out signals to them.
Modem/Router (Your Walkie-Talkie Station): This is like a special station inside your house that takes the messages from your walkie-talkie and helps share them with your computer or tablet. It makes sure everyone in the house can get and send messages.
How It Works
Sending a Message
Base Station Sends Signals: The base station (your friend’s walkie-talkie) sends out signals (messages) through the air to reach your walkie-talkie outside your house.
Outdoor Antenna Receives Signals: Your outdoor antenna (your walkie-talkie) catches these signals from the base station. It needs to be in a good spot to hear clearly, just like you need to be close enough to your friend to hear them.
Passing the Message Inside
Signal Conversion: The outdoor antenna sends the signals to your modem, which is like the special station inside your house. It turns these signals into something your computer or tablet can understand.
Internet Connection: The modem then passes the information to your router (another part of the station). The router makes sure the internet connection goes to all the devices in your house, just like you might use a walkie-talkie to talk to your friends in different rooms.
Receiving and Sending Information
Sending Requests: When you use your computer or tablet to watch videos or play games, it sends a message through the router to the modem, which then sends it to the base station through the outdoor antenna.
Getting Information Back: The base station gets the request, finds the information (like a video), and sends it back to your modem through the same path. Your modem then makes sure the information reaches your computer or tablet.
Advantages of Fixed Wireless
No Cables: Just like using walkie-talkies, you don’t need cables running all over the place.
Quick Setup: It’s faster to set up than running long cables.
When to Use Fixed Wireless
Rural Areas: Good for places where running cables is too hard or expensive.
Businesses: Helps businesses get fast internet without the mess of cables.
Events: Useful for temporary setups where you need internet quickly.
Conclusion
Fixed wireless is like having a super-efficient walkie-talkie system for your house that connects you to the internet. Instead of cables, it uses invisible signals to send and receive information. It’s fast and convenient, but it needs a clear path to work its best.
