5G FWA makes inroads in the enterprise segment: how far will it go?

This report is available to those subscribed to the Fixed, TV and Convergence or IoT & Enterprise modules.
An increasing number of 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) service providers are targeting the business segment. The three major US operators have reportedly been achieving high growth rates in their respective customers base already, while outside the US there is a growing number of operators jumping into the enterprise 5G FWA opportunity.
However, 5G FWA is a constrained business opportunity at the moment due to network and spectrum capacity limitations. Whether operators will follow up with further network investments or will adopt a more moderate and selective strategy still remains unclear. But the demand is there and significant opportunities remain for operators and other ecosystem players, such as network vendors and device manufacturers. There are several key factors to consider in order to make the most of the opportunity, which are covered in this report.
