A report commissioned by mobile operator Three has backed 5G-powered Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) broadband to be a genuine challenger to traditional fixed line connections.
Alongside enhanced mobile broadband services, FWA will be one of the first major use cases for commercial 5G services. Indeed, Verizon’s 5G network in the US offers FWA in several major cities.
Both Three and EE have said they will offer FWA when they launch their 5G networks in 2019, claiming it will appeal to people in areas with poor fixed coverage or those who need a more flexible contract.
