SAMENA-Council Newsletter – the case for FWA
The Case for Fixed Wireless Access
As part of the Q1 SAMENA Newsletter, GSA’s very own 4G-5G Fixed Wireless Access Forum Chairperson, Julien Grivolas, talks about Re-defining 5G Deployment Success: GSA’s Perspectives on FWA Growth Trends.
Summary:
Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) is proving to be a life changer by ensuring the availability of strong and reliable wireless broadband connectivity to people wherever they are, whatever they do. 5G FWA is currently one of the hottest topics in the industry, and is seeing a strong market traction all around the world, especially from policy, regulatory, and business perspectives. This is true for developing as well as for developed economies. Notably, FWA has emerged as a prime monetization use-case for 5G deployments all over the globe, and particularly in the markets of North America, Europe, Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East.
A little update about the Forum
The GSA 4G-5G Fixed Wireless Access Forum
The GSA 4G-5G FWA Forum recognizes 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. Since its creation in late 2020, the GSA 4G-5G FWA Forum has grown to 57 companies (as of February 2024) that are promoting the benefits of 4G-5G FWA for high-speed wireless broadband as well as their own position in this growing ecosystem. 4G-5G FWA device suppliers currently form the bulk of the membership but there are also network infrastructure, module, chipset and service companies involved in the Forum who support our activities.
