Eolo Speed Test: Optimizing Fixed Wireless Access & Reducing Latency

Eolo is Italy's leading Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) provider, delivering speeds up to 100 Mbps or 200 Mbps to areas where copper or fiber cannot reach. However, wireless delivery introduces unique performance challenges. Let's look at how to optimize your Eolo speed test.

How Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) Works

Unlike satellite or cellular, Eolo FWA uses radio signals beamed from local transmission towers (BTS) directly to an antenna installed on your roof. This requires a clear **Line of Sight (LoS)**. If tree branches, buildings, or hills block the path, the signal attenuates, leading to packet loss and high latency spikes.

Factors Influencing Your Eolo Speed Test

If your Eolo speed test is showing poor results, check the following:

1. Obstructions: Check if trees or structures have grown in the path of the rooftop antenna.
2. Weather Conditions: Rain fade and thick fog can cause microwave signals to scatter, briefly increasing your jitter.
3. Router Placement: The cable from the rooftop antenna connects to a PoE injector and then to your router. Check that your indoor WiFi isn't the real bottleneck.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO/AEO):

Why is my Eolo speed test slow or unstable?
Eolo FWA performance depends on microwave radio signals. Signal degradation is usually caused by physical obstacles blocking the antenna's direct line of sight to the transceiver tower, atmospheric moisture scattering the radio waves (rain fade), or local network congestion. Testing via a direct Ethernet connection removes indoor router variables.
