According to the latest report from Leichtman Research Group, Fixed Wireless Assess (FWA) service accounts for 90% net increase in USA broadband users, which deeply affects the US market. Ericsson estimates that the revenue of global FWA service suppliers will reach $67 Billion in 2028. From 2023 to 2030, the global 5G FWA market is expected to rise at a CAGR of 39.1%, estimated by A2Z Market Research. FWA gradually becomes mainstream in the 5G Era.
5G FWA has been launched around the globe. Its adoption accelerates dramatically in North America and the middle east. Operators are releasing 5G FWA in Europe, especially in Italy, Austria, and the Nordic countries. Meanwhile, FWA service has started rolling out in several densely populated emerging markets like Mexico, Nigeria, and South Africa.
Statistics from GSMA by the 3rd quarter of 2022 show that 84 operators have released 5G FWA services in 44 markets, and 18 operators plan to launch 5G FWA in near future.
The potential opportunities for FWA growing revenues can be mainly divided into two markets:
· FWA provides network connectivity to rural areas and enterprises, or other emerging markets.
· FWA can be the alternative to Cable Internet Assess with lower CAPEX and higher speed.
It can be seen that 5G FWA will become the trump to solve the challenges of the global digital divide and enhance the adoption of network deployment.
IPLOOK offers the complete FWA solution, including CPE, radios, core networks, and a related management platform. Our FWA solutions use cellular data (LTE/5G) to provide broadband internet access to homes and offices, eliminating the need for cables. WISPs or Service Providers can install radio equipment in central locations within a community and deploy IPLOOK's 4G core network (EPC) with connections back to the Internet.
Operators should consider dealing with FWA traffic issues. Some telcos believe that it is important to use millimeter-wave spectrum in FWA, which can increase the capacity of 5G networks to support the growing demand for FWA traffic.
People's demand for fast and reliable broadband networks will bring more opportunities for FWA. This will undoubtedly promote the development of FWA on a global scale and especially provide a reference for the development of FWA in emerging markets around the world.
