Understanding the Difference Between AT&T Wireless Broadband and Internet Air
When choosing the right internet service for your business, it’s crucial to understand the options available to you. AT&T offers two distinct types of internet services that cater to different needs: Wireless Broadband and Internet Air. Let’s break down the differences to help you decide which is best for your business.
AT&T Wireless Broadband
AT&T Wireless Broadband is a reliable, high-speed internet solution designed for businesses that need a primary or backup internet connection. It leverages AT&T’s LTE network to provide connectivity, ensuring that even if traditional wired services fail, your business stays online. Here are the key features:
- Fast Setup: Installation is straightforward and quick, with no need for complex wiring or professional installation.
- Mobility: Ideal for businesses that operate in temporary locations or need connectivity for mobile offices.
- Scalability: Easily add more lines as your business grows without significant infrastructure changes.
AT&T Internet Air
AT&T Internet Air, on the other hand, is a type of fixed wireless internet service that also uses the LTE network. It’s specifically aimed at providing internet access in areas where traditional broadband services are not feasible. Key aspects include:
- Rural Connectivity: Perfect for rural businesses where other high-speed internet options are not available.
- Consistent Speeds: Provides steady and reliable internet speeds that support business operations without the interruptions typically associated with satellite internet.
- Easy Installation: Like Wireless Broadband, Internet Air requires minimal installation efforts and can be set up quickly.
Which Service Should You Choose?
The choice between AT&T Wireless Broadband and Internet Air largely hinges on whether you need mobile internet capabilities or a stationary solution.
AT&T Wireless Broadband is ideal if you require a mobile internet option that can travel with your business. This service provides the flexibility to access high-speed internet anywhere within AT&T’s extensive LTE coverage area. It’s perfect for businesses that operate on the go, such as mobile offices, event organizers, or field services.
AT&T Internet Air is tailored for businesses in specific locations where traditional broadband might not reach. It requires a qualification check to ensure the location is suitable for the service. Unlike Wireless Broadband, Internet Air service may be suspended or terminated if it’s used outside the approved location, making it a less flexible option but excellent for static rural businesses needing reliable connectivity.
