5G FWA Solution - IoT Application Scenarios

The new 5G FWA solution offered by Fibocom enhances broadband connectivity in sub-urban and rural areas. See how our 5G module solutions bridge the digital divide.

What is 5G FWA Solution and How Does It Transform Connectivity?

5G FWA (Fixed Wireless Access) solutions are revolutionizing the way we connect to the internet, especially in areas where traditional broadband infrastructure is limited or non-existent. By utilizing 5G technology, FWA solutions provide high-speed internet access through wireless means, making it a pivotal player in bridging the digital divide.

Benefits of Implementing 5G FWA Solutions:

Rapid Deployment: Unlike wired solutions that require extensive infrastructure, 5G FWA can be set up quickly to provide immediate internet access, even in remote locations.

Cost-Effectiveness: By eliminating the need for cables and wiring, 5G FWA significantly reduces the setup and maintenance costs associated with traditional broadband.

Enhanced Capacity: 5G technology enables FWA solutions to support a larger number of users with higher data consumption without compromising speed or reliability.

Fibocom's Role in Advancing 5G FWA Solutions:

Fibocom's suite of 5G modules, such as the FG150 and FM150, are at the core of 5G FWA solutions. These modules offer the necessary speed, capacity, and latency to deliver a seamless internet experience. They are particularly critical in areas where wired connections are not feasible, making high-speed internet accessible to all.

Driving Forward with 5G FWA Solutions:

As 5G technology continues to expand, the potential for FWA solutions grows exponentially. Fibocom's 5G modules are not just about connecting the unconnected; they're about providing a foundation for innovative applications that require reliable, high-speed internet. From remote education to telemedicine, 5G FWA solutions are enabling advancements that were previously unimaginable.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the implementation of 5G FWA solutions is a game-changer for global connectivity. With Fibocom's cutting-edge modules, the dream of universal broadband is becoming a reality. As we look towards a more connected future, 5G FWA solutions stand ready to play a vital role in the continued growth and development of our digital world.

Imagine how we were about 10 years ago without being so connected. The devices have become an extension of our daily lives and we rely on them to do almost everything. The global pandemic has shown us how important dependable internet connectivity and speeds are. Doing zoom calls for school, video conference for work, and streaming videos for entertainment… … the need of quality connectivity as well as speeds is urgent. During this global epidemic, 5G FWA has played a vital role, supporting online shopping, distance learning and telecommuting, becoming an important infrastructure supporting the normal operation of our society.

However, operators using traditional networking solutions are faced with great limitations. To begin with, despite organizations such as United Nation (UN), World Bank and ITU have called for the elimination of digital divide for many years, there are still plenty of people around the world who do not have access to the internet. According to a report from International Telecommunication Union (ITU), in 2019, nearly half of the world's population is still not connected to the Internet, and many lack reliable internet service. Besides, the cost and complexity of deploying fixed broadband challenged the roll-out of reliable and affordable internet connectivity, while the download speed and latency of FWA based on 4G/LTE technology cannot compete with fiber-optic broadband connections.

A Low-Cost, Easy-to-Deploy, Flexible Broadband Solution

5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) is an ideal solution to bring broadband connections to sub-urban and rural areas, and at the same time provide different levels of broadband services suitable for the region, eliminating the hassle and cost of fixed line installation. Compared with wired access technology, 5G FWA does not require laying fiber or cables to provide last mile connectivity. Featuring New Radio (NR) in the millimeter wavelength (mmWave), 5G FWA can provide a competitive alternative to fixed-line DSL, Cable and fiber across all markets, and the delay can be as low as 1ms. This provides the means by which suburban and rural consumers can receive the bandwidth required to support high-definition streaming services and high-speed Internet access.

5G FWA can achieve Gbps downlink bandwidth and provide a fiber-like experience while allowing relatively low deployment costs and the potential for self-configuration. With the significant improvement in network performance, the next generation of 5G-based fixed wireless technology is expected to become a truly competitive technology compared to fiber optic connectivity, while retaining the convenience and cost advantages of FWA.

Fibocom 5G FWA Solution

Integrated with Fibocom 5G wireless modules, 5G FWA services will be able to bring a more affordable broadband alternative to areas with limited DSL, cable or fiber services and help consumers and businesses in less developed areas to access the high-speed wireless networks. With the huge capacity, high throughput and low latency features of 5G technology, as well as its much lower cost, 5G FWA has become a more feasible and attractive proposition for network operators to deliver ultra-high-speed broadband in less developed regions, which helps narrowing the digital divide.
