KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 20 (Bernama) -- Total operator-billed revenue generated from 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) services will rise from US$515 million in 2022 to US$2.5 billion next year, according to a new study by Juniper Research. (US$1 = RM4.547)
This staggering growth will be driven by 5G’s advanced network capabilities, such as ultra-low delay and increased data processing to provide connectivity services that were previously unachievable with 4G technology, according to a statement.
FWA includes services that provide high-speed Internet connectivity through cellular‑enabled Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) for uses including broadband and IoT networks.
The research predicts that operators’ 5G FWA revenue will reach US$24 billion globally by 2027. It identified the consumer market as the sector generating the highest revenue for operators; representing 96 per cent of global 5G FWA revenue.
However, it warns that operators must provide a compelling user proposition for FWA solutions through the bundling of services such as video streaming, gaming and smart home security to enrich user experience and gain competitive advantage against incumbent high‑speed connectivity technologies, such as Fibre‑to‑the‑Property (FTTP).
The report also identified private networks as a key monetisation opportunity; offering superior network capabilities over 4G. Smart manufacturing, shipping ports and airports are the key use cases for 5G FWA.
It recommends that operators use 5G FWA to facilitate the last mile-solution by treating the relationship between FWA and fibre networks as wholly collaborative to maximise network performance and return on investment.
