Introducing Fixed Wireless Access: a game changer for broadband connectivity

Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) is revolutionizing the broadband landscape by providing high-speed internet to homes and businesses without the need for traditional wired infrastructure. Leveraging existing 4G LTE and 5G networks, FWA uses wireless communication technologies to deliver connectivity. The process starts with installing an outdoor antenna at the customer's premises, which communicates wirelessly with nearby cellular towers. This connection is then transmitted to an indoor router, creating a Wi-Fi network for multiple devices.

While FWA may not always match fiber-optic speeds, it offers sufficient bandwidth for typical internet usage and offers more accessibility and options. Its rapid deployment capability makes it an ideal solution for underserved rural or remote areas where laying traditional cables is challenging and costly. As wireless technologies advance, FWA is poised to evolve, providing a scalable and flexible alternative to wired broadband solutions and iconectiv® TruOps® Common Language®, the industry’s classification and standardization code sets, can play a pivotal role in making that happen.
