Can we deliver SWS Wireless Broadband to you?
SWS Wireless Broadband uses terrestrial Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) technologies. For us to successfully deliver a service, there must be a direct and unobstructed line of sight between your property and one of our relays or masts.
The need for a good line of sight is due to the highly focused, very low power radio waves transmitted between the antenna. Obstructions which may appear as insignificant as leaves on a tree can degrade the signal sufficiently to make it unusable.
If we are concerned about the possibility of line of sight obstruction, we will carry out a no-obligation site survey before proceeding to schedule an installation.
How does SWS Broadband get to you?
We install a radio on your property which receives a signal from a broadcast radio on one of our masts or relays (same principal as analogue radio or TV) - this is the wireless bit.
Depending on how far your property is from the mast, the radio could be the size of a side plate up to satellite dish size - we can always let you know in advance exactly what will be installed.
An ethernet cable is then run from the installed radio, into your property to a router, from which point your SWS Broadband connection delivers a highspeed, reliable service which can be used in exactly the same way as any other provider’s service.
What is standard installation?
Standard installation assumes that:
- the property where the connection is required has line of sight to one of our masts
- the router will be located on the same side of the house as the radio
- our installer will not need to overcome any internal or external obstructions
Non-standard installation, where your property does not have direct line of sight or additional equipment or materials are required to provide a connection may incur additional costs. Where a non-standard installation is expected we will carry out a site-survey and provide a quote for your approval before moving forward with an installation.
What is included in an installation?
At installation we supply all equipment required for your connection to operate, including radio and router.
Prices include VAT. Non-standard installation may cost extra. Subject to availability & survey.
The download speeds are average speeds achievable by at least 50% of users in Shropshire on a wired connection at peak times (8-10pm). Your actual speed will vary depending on a number of different factors (e.g. your location, home wiring, Wi-Fi connection and time of day).
