Boundless Fixed Wireless Access

We operate an independent fibre-backed microwave network. This is not a satellite delivered service but one that uses a series of ground-based transmitters to deliver the signal directly to your house or business.

A small antenna of about 40cm diameter is mounted on the outside of the property aimed at one of our transmitters. As we use a microwave delivery system we do need clear line of sight between this receiving antenna and the nearest transmitter mast. We then fit a Wi-Fi router inside the property that is used to connect your PCs and other internet-enabled devices. Being completely independent from the ‘copper wire’ infrastructure used by normal broadband providers means that our customers are not impacted by the distance to the local exchange or if a cable in the ground is accidentally cut. It is important to note that even when an area is claimed to be ‘fibre enabled’, all this really means is that the Openreach green street cabinet is fibre connected. However, the connection from that cabinet to your property is still connected by copper, which severely reduces the speeds over any distance from that cabinet. We do not suffer this problem, which means we can often provide a faster service even to areas that are ‘fibre enabled’.

Better Speed and Distance with Boundless

Broadband line speed over distance comparison to your property

Wireless broadband from Boundless Networks is different; it delivers far better speeds over distance than FTTC (Fibre to the cabinet) fibre broadband.

It’s a well-known fact that the further your home is located from the closest street-side fibre cabinet, the slower your broadband service becomes; the drop-off in service is significant over the old copper telephone line from the roadside cabinet to your home. In stark contrast, a Boundless wireless connection retains its full speed up to 5km from our base station to your home.

Here’s a broadband line speed over distance comparison between a Boundless wireless connection and that delivered by FTTC fibre broadband to your home. Please note this is chart assumes ideal conditions for both wireless and fibre; actual results may vary for both.
