Wireless Internet service provider.

Wireless Internet service provider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) are Internet service providers with networks built around wireless networking. The technology used ranges from commonplace Wi-Fi mesh networking or proprietary equipment designed to operate over open 900MHz, 2.4GHz, 4.9, 5.2, 5.4, and 5.8GHz bands or licensed frequencies in the UHF or MMDS bands.

In the US, the Federal Communications Commission released Report and Order, in 2005 that revised the FCC’s rules to open the 3650 MHz band for terrestrial wireless broadband operations. On November 14, 2007 the Commission released Public Notice in which the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau announced the start date for licensing and registration process for the 3650-3700 MHz band."
