This new form of signal transmission eliminates the use of cables, using radio waves to create a connection between a cell tower and an external antenna installed in homes and businesses.
The captured signal is passed on to a modem, which converts it into Wi-Fi to be used by users.
For now, the novelty is offered only in São Paulo, Campinas, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre and Brasília. However, Claro plans to gradually expand to other regions.
The technology is especially useful in areas where the economic viability of optical fiber is not assured, such as rural areas and regions far from urban centers. It is possible to replace access via satellite or copper networks.
Claro's FWA internet plans can be purchased with different data allowances. After consumption, the speed is reduced until the charging cycle is renewed.

The plans also work with 4G technology. To provide such technology, Claro uses the Intelbras GX3000 5G router, compatible with Wi-Fi 6.
This equipment allows the connection of up to 128 devices simultaneously, ensuring maximum range and speed.
Prices for Claro's 5G plans are high and allowances may be limited for home use with data-intensive needs, such as streaming movies and online games.
Furthermore, 5G coverage is not yet widespread, and more affordable broadband options already exist in many areas.
While Claro tries to popularize fixed 5G internet in Brazil, other options are also emerging, such as Starlink's satellite broadband, which offers unlimited data traffic at affordable prices. competitive.
The fixed internet market is constantly evolving, and it is up to consumers to assess which is the best alternative for their specific needs.
As technology advances and coverage increases, it is possible that fixed wireless internet will become a viable and attractive choice for more people. For the time being, the expectation remains of how the new technology will consolidate itself in the Brazilian scenario.
