The deployment of 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) technology offers is a vital addition to cable operators’ a set of cost-effective tools for expanding broadband access to underserved communities and into infrastructure, such as laying new fiber-optic cable.Although 5G FWA holds promise in reaching underserved communities, it also has some drawbacks. Wireless access points can be subject to interference and reach more limited distances, making it necessary to place them closer together than previous wireless technologies (2G/3G/4G). And because 5G wavelengths can’t penetrate walls, FWA units need line-of-sight connectivity to each other or the tower.
