About 5G Fixed Wireless Access
Fixed wireless access is defined as a connection that provides broadband access through mobile network-enabled customer premises equipment (CPE). This includes various form factors of CPEs, such as indoor (desktop and window) and outdoor (rooftop and wall-mounted). It does not include portable battery-based Wi-Fi routers or dongles. Fixed wireless access (FWA) connections are forecast to grow threefold and reach close to 160 million by the end of 2025, accounting for 25 percent of total mobile network data traffic globally. There were an estimated 51 million FWA connections globally at the end of 2019, FWA traffic is predicted to grow to reach 53EB in 2025, accounting for 25 percent of global mobile network data traffic, there will be close to 160 million FWA connections by the end of 2025, providing access to approximately 570 million individuals. There are three main factors that drive the FWA market and the uptake of connections. First, demand from consumers and businesses for digital services continues, driving the need for broadband connectivity. Second, FWA delivered over 4G or 5G is an increasingly cost-efficient broadband alternative in areas with limited availability of fixed services such as DSL, cable, or fiber. Increasing capacity allowed by greater spectrum allocations and technology advancements for 4G and 5G networks is driving higher network efficiency in terms of the cost per delivered gigabyte. Third, governments are fueling broadband connectivity through programs and subsidies, as it is considered vital for digitalization efforts and economic growth.
