Wireless Internet providers in Ohio normally operate commonplace Wi-Fi mesh networks and the proprietary devices which use the open 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz bands. Wireless Internet in Ohio may also use Ultra High Frequency (UHF) or a Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service (MMDS) operating in the 2 to 3 Ghz range.

Wireless Internet providers in Ohio also provide Virtual Private Networking (VPN) and Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP). These services are especially beneficial in areas that are highly dependent upon wireless networking.

Ohio wireless Internet providers are most often in areas where cable and Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL) don't exist. Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMax) will probably become standard for wireless networking which will make mobile data transmission feasible.

The Wireless Internet Service Provider radio (WISPr) protocol is used by travelers to access Ohio wireless Internet service when roaming between different providers. Single providers in Ohio do not offer global access and roaming is actively encouraged by the Wi-Fi Alliance.

In order to best use your wireless Internet service in Ohio:

1.  Find a locator service suitable for your needs.

2.  Find the hot spots in Ohio so that you can use wireless Internet while traveling.

3.  Add value to your business in Ohio by providing wireless Internet to others.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Locate Internet providers in Ohio


Ohio wireless Internet service providers should provide a service area map on their website to determine if you might be able to use their services. However, regard any maps only as a general guide; access to your specific location may need to be determined by a service technician since wireless networks are easily blocked.

I recommend: Look at the service areas for a WISP like Clearwire. This Ohio wireless Internet provider serves Dayton and has a map which can zoom into a city-level view. Big companies like Verizon Wireless and Comcast offer full service wireless Internet services in Ohio.

Travel while using Ohio wireless Internet services


You can use wireless internet in Ohio in airports, hotels or while on the road. Larger networks can provide access to many hot spots for a flat rate instead of charging per-minute or for roaming.

I recommend: Get a list of Boingo hot spots in Ohio. Their service packages target three classes of customers: worldwide travelers, travelers in North America and infrequent travelers.

Become a reseller of Ohio wireless Internet services


Business owners can become virtual Ohio wireless Internet providers, which encourages repeat business. These customers are especially desirable since wireless Internet customers have a high average income and high loyalty.

I recommend: Contact HotPoint Wireless to become a hot point location. Cafes, coffee shops and restaurants and other public places with high traffic are ideal choices due to their high traffic.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • Ohio wireless Internet service providers that operate at 900 MHz might be able to operate without a clear line of sight to the transmitter in limited circumstances. However, 2.4 GHz devices are completely dependent upon a clear line of sight. Wireless connections are also subject to interference from a variety of sources, most commonly solar activity and competing broadcasts.
