FAQ's

How is Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) deployed?

5G Fixed Wireless Access can be implemented in both FR1 (sub-6GHz) and FR2 (mmW) bands. In the lower bands of the wireless spectrum can be used to quickly and cheaply deliver an alternative to wired broadband. In the millimeter wavelengths, 5G FWA can provide a level of service bandwidth capacity comparable to fiber optics.

Is Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) feasible in 5G NSA architectures?

Initially Fixed Wireless Access technology over Option 3x (EN-DC for NSA), using 5G New Radio employ a classic Evolved Packet Core (EPC) infrastructure for data transport and control information, was used reducing deployment risks and variables when first implementing 5G FWA.
