The emergence of compact wireless routers promises to optimize the deployment of distributed locations for different sorts of businesses. As a result of developments in wireless technology, two widely used concepts appeared in the telecommunications sector related to IP communications equipment (CPE): Wireless LAN and Wireless WAN. Both refer to wireless technologies in the office – used as a...
5G FWA vs fiber – Which is best?
Although superfast broadband - with a download speed of at least 30Mbps - is by now widely available, the demand for services that use ever-higher volumes of data with equal availability and reliable connectivity is steadily increasing. This has been highlighted by the COVID pandemic and the shift towards working from home. In response, governments around the world have been establishing...
5G opens diverse FWA market opportunities
5G’s superior performance makes it a truly enabling technology for FWA – but its exact capabilities depend on how it uses its available spectrum. This post looks at 5G possibilities and their impact on the 5G FWA market. ‘5G FWA’ is a somewhat minimal phrase, yet unpacking it reveals much about the present and future of high-performance telecommunications. FWA, or fixed wireless access, is not...
The synergistic benefits of integrating 5G FWA with SD-WAN
After summarising why corporate users are moving from MPLS to SD-WAN networking, this post looks at how SD-WAN is being further enhanced by the advent of 5G. Modern corporate enterprises – or even smaller-scale businesses – depend on secure, reliable, and increasingly high performance computing power to operate competitively, or even survive. Equally, though, they need a communications and...
5G-NSA to 5G-SA Migraton: challenges and opportunities
I remember when I worked on the first GSM protocol stack as a young software engineer and holding a kind of “prehistoric” heavy TACS analogue mobile phone that was nothing more than a device for making calls. But it worked! And it achieved what it was designed for. At that time, our stack development was based on the Release 96 of the ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute)...
How 5G FWA technology can optimize CPE performance
Your network infrastructure must work harder than ever before, while being highly resilient to network failure. While CPEs can use 5G technology to better meet these demands, 5G carries significant challenges along with its game-changing benefits. This post looks at how CPE equipment has evolved, and how it can overcome these challenges to deliver the best user 5G FWA experience. Evolution of...
