Plains Internet

Plains Internet is a Wireless Internet Service Provider, or WISP, located in Amarillo that provides internet services to many towns and cities in the Texas Panhandle. What are the benefits of Wireless Internet? Primarily, the benefits are in terms of coverage. Wireless can expand farther and faster than wired companies simply by means of the media through which it is delivered. Other benefits include: reliability, cost, and most WISPs are privately owned local companies. How Does Your Service Work? We use point to multi-point wireless technology to relay signal from our tower to a receiver we would mount on your house or business. From the receiver we have to run a cable into your house or business to provide internet to your devices. What Type of Gear do You Mount and Where? Depending on how far you are from the tower, we use two types of antennas. At close enough distances, we use a small rectangular one. At longer distances we use a dish about the size of a pizza. In either instance, we need to mount on a high place on the house, typically the roof, although sometimes the eves or other locations are possible. Do You Have to Drill Into My Roof?
