Cronus Internet

Fixed Wireless Internet

Fixed Wireless Business Internet in Detroit

Fixed wireless internet in Detroit with speeds up to 10 Gbps over Cronus’s own network, installed in days with no trenching or construction.

How it works

Fiber-Class Speed Without the Construction

Fixed wireless connects your building to the Cronus network with a small radio on your roof aimed at one of our tower sites across Detroit. The signal travels through the air instead of underground cable, so there is nothing to dig up and no waiting months for a carrier to build to you.

Because Cronus owns and runs the network, we control the speed, the quality and how quickly problems get fixed. Our Detroit Network Operations Center monitors every link around the clock.

In depth

A Guide to Fixed Wireless Internet 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.
