Desert Winds Wireless Internet is a company that gives wireless internet services to rural areas in the Southwest at high speeds. Desert Winds was formed in 2008 by friends with a passion for technology and residing in the Arizona desert; This cooperative was established with the noble purpose of providing broadband Internet connectivity to isolated communities. Through the use of such technologies as fixed wireless, DW can provide consumers in rural towns and communities from Phoenix to Diné Bikéyah, Navajo, and Hopi with a broadband connection of up to 30 Mbps. Wireless antennas are placed on existing structures like highway signs, grain silos, and cell phone towers, and hence, they help expand the wireless connectivity of an area cost-effectively and in the shortest time possible within the area with the assistance of Desert Winds. Desert Winds offers their service with reasonable monthly fees, which start at $39.99, and there are no contracts signed with the company. Lack of connectivity restricts people from working remotely, attending online classes, availing of telemedicine facilities, and watching movies or shows—things that were unimaginable for the inhabitants of the small town before Desert Winds made wireless internet connectivity possible. Due to this, companies such as Desert Winds are playing a crucial role in making sure that the gap between internet access in rural areas and urban areas does not increase further.
