About

What is CA Wireless Internet and how does your service work?
CA Wireless Internet is a provider of high speed internet services over a wireless network. We do not use your phone lines or your cable connection. A small antenna is installed on the customer’s roof and this antenna picks up a signal from our closest transmitting antenna. A cable is run from the rooftop antenna down into the customer’s home or office, where it is connected to a modem. From this modem you can either plug directly into your computer, or you can plug into a router and connect multiple computers to the internet.
