Fixed Wireless Access
Broadband to the home over LTE or 5G, for ISPs that need to reach customers fibre cannot, and for MNOs that want to monetise spare capacity on their radio network.
Broadband to the home over LTE or 5G, for ISPs that need to reach customers fibre cannot, and for MNOs that want to monetise spare capacity on their radio network.
Laying fibre to every home in a country is uneconomic outside dense urban areas. Fixed Wireless Access delivers tens of Mbps to a household over LTE or 5G, using outdoor or indoor CPE. It is the fastest-growing broadband technology in markets where fibre penetration stalled.
Sub-6 and mmWave options. Carrier-grade CPE with external antenna support for fringe coverage. Indoor units for dense urban.
Voice, data and messaging plans in one bill. Prepaid and postpaid. Self-care portal, payments, top-ups, family data sharing.
Extend a fibre ISP into wireless broadband without building a mobile network. Lease capacity from an MNO, brand it your own, bill your own customers.
Fibre economics are about cost-per-metre-of-trench. FWA economics are about cost-per-subscriber-acquired. Where the population is dense enough to fill a sector but spread enough that fibre is uneconomic, FWA wins.
Cost comparison
Fibre-to-the-home in a suburban area: $1,200-$2,500 per home passed, with take-rate risk. Fibre that nobody signs up for is a write-off.
FWA CPE: $150-$400 per active subscriber. Capital deployed only against confirmed demand.
The decision is rarely fibre-or-FWA. It is fibre-in-dense-areas-and-FWA-everywhere-else. We help operators run both layers from one BSS.
Field note
“Extending voice services into remote and rural areas: cost-effective LTE wireless solutions to rapidly and efficiently deliver high-speed broadband connectivity.” FWA stopped being a stopgap. In markets where fixed broadband penetration stalled at 30%, FWA is how the next 40% of households get online.
We deliver the radio side, the BSS and the customer-acquisition stack.
Sectorisation, frequency planning, contention ratios. Capacity dimensioning against actual subscriber take-up, not optimistic forecasts.
Procurement, configuration, distribution. Indoor and outdoor units. Self-install kits where possible, professional install where not.
Customer onboarding, plan selection, payments, top-ups, ticketing. Branded portal. Mobile app integration.
Per-sector usage monitoring, congestion alerts, capacity upgrades triggered before customers complain.
Tell us the geography, the host network and the target subscriber count. We will scope the radio plan, the CPE logistics and the BSS.
