Falls Technology ServicesOut of town, the problem is often two problems: getting a decent connection to the property, and getting it from the house to wherever you need it.
Getting a connection
- Satellite (such as Starlink): works almost anywhere with a clear view of the sky; trees and buildings in the way cause dropouts
- Fixed wireless: an antenna pointed at a local tower; good where there's line of sight
- Cellular home internet: can work well where phone signal is strong; an outdoor antenna can help a lot
- DSL or cable where available
Which is best depends on exactly where you are. It's worth checking what neighbours use and how happy they are.
Placement matters
A satellite dish or antenna needs a clear view. Moving it a few feet, or mounting it higher, often fixes "slow" internet that's really an obstructed signal. The Starlink app, for example, shows obstructions.
Getting it to the shop, barn or second building
Wi-Fi from the house rarely reaches across a yard. A point-to-point wireless link between buildings, or a buried network cable, brings a full-speed connection to the shop or barn, where you can put its own Wi-Fi.
We help pick the right option for your property, set it up, and get good Wi-Fi to every building you need it in.
