Best practices and latest developments
Leverage the global 5G FWA momentum, with more than one billion opportunities, to close the digital divide. Explore the potential of flexible self-installation CPEs and offer speed-tiered plans to capture value. All are built on the future-proof platform for growth that is 5G: this, and much more, in six actionable insights from the 2024 Fixed Wireless Access handbook.
Insight 1 of 6
connections by 2029
There will be more than 130 million FWA connections by the end of 2023, forecasted to grow and reach 330 million by 2029. The 330 million connections will represent 18 percent of all fixed broadband connections, generating about USD 75 billion in service provider revenues.
Insight 2 of 6
High-end and speed-tiered 5G FWA offerings using outdoor CPEs show tariffs ranging from three to five times the relative MBB ARPU levels of 4G offerings based on indoor CPES
Insight 3 of 6
Even though the global broadband landscape continues to expand, more than 1 billion premises are unconnected or underserved, representing a potential global, addressable market for FWA
Insight 4 of 6
time-to-market
FWA enables a very fast time to market. A street address can be matched with the serving site, estimating radio conditions, and calculating likely resource consumption for the household with just a few clicks.
Insight 5 of 6
more households
Achieve 60% more capacity by upgrading 20% of indoor CPEs in worst radio conditions to outdoor.
Insight 6 of 6
capacity with mmWave
mmWave enables 3x more capacity and gigabit FWA, including extended range.
