The type of Technology used by Speednet Scotland, is fixed wireless broadband.
The technology works off a fibre backhaul. Powerful radio devices using point to point transmission are used to send the internet from a fibre backhaul.
Speednet have several Masts located throughout the UK that host our devices. These masts are located in key areas so that we can send the internet service from our fibre backhaul through our network and on to our customers. Essentially the internet is sent through the air from the fibre backhaul to one of our Masts (point A), reaches a receiving device on that Mast and is then sent via a transmitting device to another Mast (point B) and so forth to reach our customers.
For the technology to work correctly there must be a direct line of sight from the transmitting device to the receiving device. The receiving device must also be lined up correctly, pointing specifically into the wireless signal being sent from the transmitting device.
