Patrick Morrisey announced that the state had finalized its $1.2 billion plan to bring high-speed broadband to homes and businesses in the state. What’s fixed wireless? Fixed wireless internet works as radio antenna towers send signals through the air rather than through fiber cables or signals from satellites. These carriers supply some 240,000 locations with average to fast internet speeds, according to state broadband coverage data. Much of the unlicensed fixed wireless coverage in West Virginia comes from a patchwork of small, local fixed wireless providers like Neubeam, UltraWISP and SkyPacket, which serve nearly 6,500 households across the state.
