Purchase Market Survey – Fixed Wireless Access CPE – September 2025

The purpose of the GSA 4G-5G FWA Forum is to educate the industry about the fixed wireless access (FWA) market. There are currently no agreed market definitions, there is a lack of market information and no consensus about the volume of FWA device shipments and FWA installed base globally.

The annual GSA FWA CPE market survey aims to address this issue. It was first conducted in 2021, and this report presents the findings of the 2025 survey, where data was collected from April to July 2025. A total of 17 vendors of customer-premises equipment (CPE) from the GSA 4G-5G FWA Forum answered the survey.

The results present the aggregate answers of those 17 CPE vendors compared to 30 vendors in the 2024 survey. We estimate that this is still a significant representation of the market for 3GPP-based 4G and 5G FWA devices.

GSA has announced it is looking for applicants for the combined role of GSA President and Secretariat starting January 2027. Learn more.
