Fixed Wireless Access Becomes a Key Strategy for Operators in 2022
Insight | 2Q 2022 | IN-6522
Major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are picking up Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) as part of their business strategy as 5G adoption increases. The deployments of mmWave and remote work environment introduced since the COVID-19 pandemic further fosters an environment conducive for FWA. FWA promises many new opportunities, including the ability to provide lower cost broadband to underserved regions, compete against traditional wired broadband solutions, and also to drive new 5G-related use cases including video/TV streaming and IoT use cases.
Fixed Wireless Access Integral in the Future of Connectivity
Insight | 1Q 2022 | IN-6477
Mobile Network Operators are optimistic about fixed wireless access as one of the 5G killer applications and monetization avenues. And yet, Fixed Wireless Access is not something new to the industry and market. Having existed for many years, is this optimism from Mobile Network Operators unfounded?
Fixed Wireless Access Services Expands to Enterprise Segment
Insight | 1Q 2021 | IN-6094
Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) services have been playing an important role in providing broadband connectivity to areas unserved or underserved with fixed broadband infrastructure. Although fixed wireless access broadband services are initially focused for Small Office and Home (SOHO) and consumer use cases to enable broadband connectivity, industry players have started expanding FWA products to the enterprise segment. In February 2020, Inseego—a mobile broadband Customer-Premises Equipment (CPE) maker—announced that its Wavemaker PRO 5G indoor FWA router FG2000e is certified for use in Europe, North America, and Australia.
5G Fixed Wireless Broadband Deployments Set to Accelerate in 2020
Insight | 4Q 2019 | IN-5689
5G has been the hot topic in the telecommunications industry in 2019, with network launches by operators from different markets. 5G fixed wireless broadband is clearly one segment of 5G networks that has gained high attention in the industry since the launch of Verizon’s 5G Home Broadband in 4Q 2018. Since then, device vendors, chipset makers, and service providers have entered or are planning to enter the market in the near future. The latest 5G fixed wireless broadband service commercial launch, which made 290 5G network sites alive in Australia, was announced by Optus. Optus soft-launched 5G fixed wireless broadband to select customers in early 2019 and is now providing 5G mobile and fixed broadband services in its 5G coverage and planning to expand its 5G network to 1,200 sites by March 2020.
