What is a WISP?

Fixed wireless internet service providers (WISPs) deliver reliable, affordable broadband to customers in fixed locations such as residences, businesses, and schools. Fixed wireless is the fastest-growing sector of the broadband industry, characterized by cost-effective deployment, rapid technology innovation, and continuously evolving transmission models, including fiber. Networks can be built and upgraded quickly at a fraction of the cost of wired-only or satellite technologies.

WISPs are powerful allies in closing the digital divide, serving the hardest-to-reach, unserved areas of rural America, and bringing affordable alternatives to underserved urban customers. Most are small and medium-sized businesses led by entrepreneurs who live in the communities they serve, built with private capital, and staffed with local teams.
