Residential Wireless Installation

The standard $99 install includes the following:

  • Installation & aiming of NWIC Antenna Radio*
  • Satellite Mount (if required)
  • Up to 100′ of CAT5E Cabling

Installation does not include conduit runs, or attic cable installs. If additional equipment is required, approval will be requested prior to installation.

Once installation is complete, you will be provided with a NWIC Power Over Ethernet (POE) device. This device will be plugged-in to a power outlet (inside the home) and connected to the CAT5e cable coming from the NWIC Antenna Radio. You can connect your computer ethernet plug directly to the NWIC POE or attach a Wi-Fi router (not included).

*NWIC owned, but your responsibility in the event of damage. Please see Internet Service Agreement for additional information.


NOTE: During installation a NWIC sign will be placed on the residence property. This sign can be recycled by the homeowner (metal stand in blue box, graphic overlay in grey box).
