Does the service cover all of Grant County?
Not entirely. Please refer to the map for the location of the tower sites. However, keep in mind the map does not necessarily reflect the true signal coverage. Terrain, such as steep hills or valleys, may positively or negatively impact your ability to receive the necessary signal strength from a nearby tower. Dense vegetation (specifically, trees) may also affect the signal quality.…
Will my service be affected by the weather?
No. Unlike satellite-provided service which can have its signal affected by storm clouds, rain or snow, SkyWire works in any weather. It is a radio signal that is not impacted by those weather anomolies…
Does this mean I can take my laptop anywhere in Grant County and have high-speed service?
No. SkyWire is a delivery vehicle to get high-speed internet to a module at your house. It is not a giant "hot spot" for the county. You can set up a wireless router within your house that would allow you to have the service throughout the building itself. However, that will be your responsibility, as we do not install/maintain individual networks.…
Am I limited to a certain amount of time or bandwidth that I can use the service?
Absolutely not. Unlike some services that may disconnect your account after a certain amount of usage, or require you to purchase additional minutes, you will always have unlimited access to the internet with SkyWire 24-7....
What type of equipment is needed to receive SkyWire?
We will provide you with a relatively small antenna that will need to be mounted to the exterior of your house, from which a small module (also supplied) will be attached. An ethernet cable will then deliver the decoded signal to your computer inside. That's it!....
