What it is

Fixed wireless access treats the mobile network as a broadband line. An outdoor router or roof antenna captures the best signal and brings it into the building, giving speeds that often beat rural copper broadband by a wide margin.

Where it fits

  • Rural homes, farms and offices
  • New sites waiting for fibre
  • Temporary buildings and site offices

What to look for

  • 5G coverage and the best mast direction
  • Unlimited or large data plans
  • Outdoor router versus indoor router with antenna

Questions

Is 5G FWA reliable enough for a business?

With good coverage and a properly mounted outdoor router or antenna, yes. Many businesses add a second network or fixed line as backup.
