The 5G FWA opportunity: series highlights
5G fixed wireless access (FWA) is now a commercial reality in developed and developing countries around the world. While FWA solutions have been around for more than two decades, the massive performance improvements enabled by 5G and the use of mmWave spectrum (enabling speeds that are over 10 times that of 4G) make 5G FWA a competitive solution compared to the predominant technologies in the fixed broadband market.
This report provides the highlights from the 5G FWA opportunity report series. It offers a fixed broadband and 5G FWA outlook examining the momentum behind the technology and forecast growth in connections. The analysis then summarises the 5G FWA opportunities for both mobile network operators and ISPs under different deployment scenarios, as explored in detail in the other reports from the series.
