The promotion of LTE and 5G networks as a mainstream mechanism for the delivery of broadband services to homes and businesses is now established, with lots of services available from operators, supported by a wide range of devices from many vendors.
As technology has improved, operators have been turning to mobile networks to deliver residential and business broadband services. They are using LTE, LTE-Advanced and 5G networks to deliver services in locations that are poorly served, or not served at all, by fixed-line broadband technologies based on copper, coax or fibre.
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.
Live webinar: Monday 16th June @ 15:00 UK
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
- Tarif models used by operators
- FWA service portability and speeds
- FWA devices, including vendor momentum and form factors
- 5G RedCap-capable FWA
