Commercialisation of 5G FWA services continues to grow globally. By the end of 2023, 122 fixed broadband service providers (the vast majority operators) had launched commercial 5G FWA services across 61 countries. Further, 21 fixed broadband service providers had announced plans to launch, totalling 143 providers across 68 countries.

Today, the US is the largest 5G FWA market globally, with fast adoption in the consumer and business segments over the last two years. This Insight Spotlight focuses on recent 5G FWA developments in the US within the context of the wider fixed broadband market. It analyses the growth drivers and asks whether 5G FWA’s success is replicable elsewhere.
