Fixed wireless fills a niche
When you think broadband, the first things that come to mind are probably DSL and cable modem. But fixed wireless is becoming an option for broadband Internet connectivity.
Standard procedure
The 802.11 standard was primarily intended for wireless LANs, but vendors have designed antennas and added bridging functions to adapt the use of 802.11 products for point-to-multipoint applications for end users in fixed locations.
