HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. Using software, our managers determine if we can provide service to your location.
2. Technicians will use a programmed wireless radio to find the best signal possible to one of our towers.
3. A mount (arm) is attached to the side of a building, post, pole, or other stable structure. The wireless radio is mounted to the arm.
4. A cable is run from the wireless radio to one interior location.
5. A wireless radio is set up (with your WiFi information). The cable from the wireless radio connects to the router.
5. The technician will test the signal and speed from the radio and router to ensure a successful connection.
When you choose AVISP as your internet provider, we begin the installation process. This includes scheduling an installation at which time one of our technicians installs a small radio on a building and a wireless router inside. Once this work is complete, you will have access to the internet to enjoy streaming, gaming, emails, and work from home.
SUPPORT
Basic troubleshooting to try before calling:

THE DIFFERENCE
AVISP has been providing wireless internet service in rural Healdsburg, Alexander Valley, Chalk Hill, Dry Creek Valley, Asti, and Cloverdale for 20 years.
We are a family-owned and operated business based in Alexander Valley.
With our 20 tower sites, constantly upgraded equipment, IT and networking expertise, and knowledge of the area; we are able to provide the best service possible to our rural communities.
AVISP uses advanced fixed wireless technology to deliver a consistent, high-quality internet connection. Unlike satellite service, which is approximately 1240 miles above the Earth, our service is terrestrial. The long distance between you and a satellite means slower service. AVISP signals travel just a few miles to you providing a faster and more reliable connection. AVISP uses a terrestrial tower system that is not effected by the weather conditions and interference satellite services suffer.
