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.
Within this global momentum, RedCap is emerging as a viable alternative for FWA in markets transitioning away from LTE. With 5G SA networks expanding and spectrum refarming on the agenda, RedCap-capable FWA CPEs present a compelling opportunity to deliver broadband to underserved regions, while freeing up LTE assets and simplifying operators’ RAN portfolios.
In this webinar, the GSA research team will share the latest data on the status of FWA services globally and examine how operators are using FWA to help close the digital divide.
During this GSA Snapshot Webinar you will learn more about:
- The global status of FWA broadband services based on LTE and 5G
- Tariff models used by operators
- FWA service portability and speeds
- FWA devices, including vendor momentum and form factors
- 5G RedCap-capable FWA
