Technical Detail

Sprint Broadband Direct ^SM is based on an innovative technology called "fixed wireless." This wireless, broadband technology connects you to the Internet at speeds faster than today's dial-up modems.

Sprint's fixed wireless technology uses a stationary 13.5" x 13.5" diamond-shaped device called a transceiver that is mounted on the outside of your home, usually on the roof.

The transceiver is pointed toward a radio transmission tower that sends and receives signals. Once the signal is received by your transceiver, it is sent to the modem and computer in your house.
