5G Fixed Wireless Access Latest Key Data
Fixed wireless access (FWA) remains one of 5G’s strongest and most visible commercial success stories.
With hundreds of launched services worldwide, FWA continues to provide operators with a practical route to monetisation and a fast way to extend broadband capacity without full fibre rollout. Regional differences in launch numbers and operator participation show that while the model is well established, competitive intensity and market structure still vary significantly from country to country.
The GSA FWA Forum champions the important role 3GPP-based 4G- 5G FWA technologies play in offering a fast, economically attractive and future-proof alternative to deploying broadband services, particularly for rural and less densely populated areas. The GSA FWA Forum membership includes vendors from across the infrastructure, chipset, module, software and CPE value chain for FWA. One of the main deliverables is the annual 4G-5G FWA CPE Survey report to help the industry better estimate the real market size of the 4G-5G fixed wireless access market. The Forum also maintains the FWA Directory, the industry’s most comprehensive online catalogue promoting a wide range of FWA devices, chipsets and modules.
