A Guide to Choosing a Fixed Wireless Provider in Detroit
What fixed wireless is
Fixed wireless internet delivers a business-grade connection by radio instead of cable. A small antenna on your building points at a Cronus tower site, and the two form a dedicated link that carries your traffic onto our network. Unlike consumer cellular or satellite service, the equipment stays fixed in place and is engineered for steady, predictable performance, which is why many Detroit businesses use it as their primary internet connection.
How it compares to fiber and cable
Fiber and fixed wireless can both deliver multi-gigabit speeds. The biggest difference is how the service reaches you. Fiber needs a cable in the ground to your building, which can mean permits and months of construction if none exists today. Fixed wireless only needs a clear line of sight from your roof, so it is often live within days. Compared with cable internet, fixed wireless from Cronus offers dedicated capacity and faster uploads instead of bandwidth shared with the rest of the neighborhood.
What it costs
Pricing depends on the speed you need and how your building connects to our network. Because fixed wireless avoids construction costs, it is usually far less expensive to install than new fiber, and monthly pricing is competitive with fiber at similar speeds. Cronus provides a clear written quote after we confirm line of sight to your building.
Who uses it
Restaurants, offices, hotels, apartment buildings, warehouses, venues and city agencies across Detroit rely on Cronus fixed wireless. It is also ideal for businesses that need service quickly, such as a new location opening on a deadline or a site where fiber is months away.
