5G LTE: Uses mobile cellular networks (like your phone) through nearby towers.

Fixed Wireless: Uses dedicated wireless signals from specialized antennas, often fiber-backed
for consistent speeds.


Which is more reliable? Fixed Wireless is generally more reliable with consistent speeds, while
5G LTE can fluctuate due to network congestion and shared bandwidth.


Do they have data caps?
5G LTE typically has data caps or throttling, while Sail Internet Fixed Wireless offers unlimited
data

Are there radiation/RF emission differences?

  • 5G LTE: Uses high-power cell towers broadcasting over large areas (miles) to serve
    many users
  • Fixed Wireless: Uses low-power, directional antennas with focused signals over
    shorter distances (typically under a mile)

We work with HOA management to determine the best way to serve an entire HOA. If you are interested in becoming the Relay Hub Home for your HOA, we recommend that you reach out to us and introduce us to your HOA management so that we may all work towards the best solution.

In short, no. All equipment used by Sail Internet complies with FCC regulations and all applicable standards related to electromagnetic radiation. In fact, the methods used by Sail Internet to deploy wireless connections result in radiation levels much lower than many household electronic devices.

Installation of the equipment for a Relay Hub Home will take a few days over a two-week period. This is pretty different from our residential install which takes a few hours.

No. Sail does not use satellites that provide slow and sluggish performance. Sail does not transmit from high-power cell towers using frequencies that penetrate buildings.
