What is a "Wireless Internet Service Provider"?

A Wireless Internet Service Provider or WISP is a special kind of broadband service provider that uses a base station antenna to transmit data through the airwaves to a receiving antenna at a customer's premises. The data transmission works in a similar manner to a satellite dish. The main difference is that a wireless Internet data antenna sends and receives information from a local tower or tall structure versus a satellite.

WISPs use designated channels of spectrum to transmit large amounts of data, both upstream and downstream, over the airwaves. The fact that the service is transported over a wireless connection is transparent to customers who receive up to 10 Mbps of bandwidth via a regular Ethernet connection.

The best part about a wireless system is the fact that the signal travels through the air, which means you don't have to worry about running a pair of wires to every single customer.

The correct paperwork and permissions must be obtained from the TRNC Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications for a company to operate as an Internet Service Provider. Various companies and private individuals have been providing wireless and dial-up ISP services lately without the correct permissions, and a government crackdown on such companies has begun. sunnycyprus.net has all necessary permissions and is registered as an official ISP.
