Also, once you have signed up for your Unwired service you can use it from anywhere within the Unwired coverage area.

What is a "line of sight" survey and why do I need it?

WestNet - FAQ
Wireless internet is strictly dependent on the CPE being able to see the AP without any obstructions, such as trees, buildings, or anything else that might hinder a radio connection. This is called line of sight (LOS), and is the reason we need to do a survey to determine if a link can actually be made to our AP.

Why does the SRM6000 require line-of-sight?

Spread Spectrum Radio Modem FAQ for Ethernet and Wireless
It´s not a limitation of the SRM6000 but rather a limitation of the 900Mhz band employed by the SRM6000 Radio Modem. The higher a frequency, the less its ability to reflect off of or pass through obstacles. In some applications, where the range between modems is short, it may be possible to achieve very reliable communications without line-of-sight.

Is there ever a line to get into the tower?

Eiffel Tower
Yes. In fact, there is a line almost all the time in high season, and it can take several hours to reach the summit during peak periods. During off-peak periods, it may only take ten minutes to get to the summit. The tower can be quite a madhouse during the busiest periods, when there are lines and crowds practically in every direction you turn. The lines are shortest in the early morning, when the tower opens, and very late at night, just before the last elevators go up.
