Wireless Internet is currently available almost everywhere using digital cell phone and PCS technologies. However, these capabilities are of no use to a local ISP who may consider using them to offer their clients Internet access, since large companies own the licenses for these radio channels. Further, the throughput on these channels is very slow (less than 10 Kbps). So, while they are ideal for WAP and other slow-speed Internet applications, they are not useful for offering high-speed Internet access. This paper shows how by using the 2.4 GHz band has proven to be an effective and profitable means to offer high-speed wireless Internet access to customers at fixed locations. The three main advantages this band offers is that it is license free, it supports high data rates, and the equipment is affordable. The primary disadvantage is that for long range, clear, unobstructed line-of-sight must exist between the base antenna and the client antenna.
