Fixed Wireless Access

Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) unlocks a world of opportunity. A well-performing mobile broadband network is the foundation for offering an FWA service. To do this profitably, the best way to evolve the network needs to be explored. A three-step approach should be considered by operators:

• Utilize - This includes utilizing assets such as existing radio sites, spare load in the deployed spectrum and associated deployed radio, baseband and transport equipment

• Add - This includes adding spectrum, as well as radio network capabilities such as higher-order modulation, Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) and beamforming, increased higher-order sectorization and 5G NR access.

• Densify - This includes densifying the radio network grid with macro and small cells.
