If you’ve ever managed a construction or engineering project, you know this scenario:
The site is active. Deadlines are tight. Blueprints are being updated. You need real-time communication between the trailer and the office.
But there’s one big problem—there’s no reliable internet connection.
It’s more than an inconvenience. Without solid connectivity, file transfers stall, video calls drop, and productivity slows to a crawl. On our latest episode of Stimulus Tech Talk, our CEO, Nathan Whittacre, breaks down why jobsite internet often fails—and what we’re doing to fix it for good.
The Problem: Jobsite Trailers Aren’t Built for Connectivity
Here’s the reality: jobsite trailers are temporary by design. That means most telecom providers don’t want to invest in running fiber or cable to a location that could move or disappear in a few months.
Even in dense urban environments, connectivity is far from guaranteed. If power is the only utility brought to the site—and it often is—then internet access becomes an afterthought.
While options like 5G or satellite internet may seem like a quick fix, they rarely hold up under real-world usage. Spotty coverage, low bandwidth, and strict data caps make them a poor fit for teams trying to upload CAD files, hold virtual meetings, or access VPN-secured systems.
Why DIY Isn’t the Answer
Some companies try to piece together solutions on their own. A mobile hotspot here, a basic router there. But without the right equipment, configuration, and security protocols, these setups quickly fall short.
You’re dealing with large file sizes, sensitive project data, and deadlines that don’t wait. Your internet needs to be reliable and secure from day one.
Our Solution: Fixed Wireless That’s Built for the Field
At Stimulus Broadband, we deliver fixed wireless internet designed specifically for job sites. It’s not a workaround—it’s a purpose-built solution.
We install a high-speed radio on your trailer and connect it directly to one of our local towers. This gives you:
- High-speed internet with no data caps
- A connection that moves with your trailer
- Secure transmission for VPN and real-time collaboration
- Performance that rivals traditional fiber
No trenching. No waiting weeks for installation. Just reliable internet when and where you need it.
Real Projects. Real Results.
Nathan shared examples during the episode that illustrate the scale of the challenge—and how we’ve met it.
From helping a Las Vegas convention center get online in the 1990s with bonded ISDN, to equipping rural environmental monitoring sites with real-time connectivity, we've brought high-performance internet to places where others said it wasn’t possible.
Whether the jobsite is urban or remote, temporary or multi-year, our team finds a way to connect it—and keep it connected.
Yes, It’s Secure
Every fixed wireless connection we provide is fully encrypted. We support advanced configurations like VPN, MPLS, and VPLS to meet enterprise-grade security requirements.
When set up properly, fixed wireless is not only fast—it’s secure enough to handle the most sensitive communications between your field team and your office.
The Takeaway
If your construction project relies on slow or unreliable internet, you’re already behind. Today’s job sites demand more than paper plans and walkie-talkies. They need real-time data, live collaboration, and access to the latest designs and documentation—all without leaving the trailer.
At Stimulus Broadband, we make that possible.
