Availability of FWA over 5G is growing globally, with over 330 million FWA connections expected by 2029. The potential for advancements in wireless technology coverage to enable Internet accessibility in remote locations as an alternative to broadband and LEO satellites is giving rise to new applications and use cases. It is also relatively cheap and easy to deploy. The US has led the charge, but emerging markets in Europe and Asia are catching up fast. However, some players consider FWA a temporary solution at best, voicing concerns about robustness, sustainability and scalability, with bandwidth demands growing exponentially. This panel will debate the merits and disadvantages of this alternative means of connectivity.
