Explore this topic in-depth, covering:
- MNO requirements for connected devices – They need them to benefit from ease of installation, offer provisioning of high bandwidth, contain robust security features and offer gold-standard device lifetime in the field.
- How the Thales process works – Thales offers tested support to FWA CPE device designers in a framework called Build, Run, Protect. It helps them meet the demands of Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) while also tapping into new technologies.
- Reasons for the FWA resurgence – 5G could be credited with the renewed appetite in FWA and the funding that’s come with the government’s interest in providing levelling up across digital divides.
- The market data on FWA – FWA connections are estimated to grow from 100M in 2022 to 300M in 2028 and (by then) 5G is expected to represent nearly 80% of the total and by 2028, 17% of fixed home broadband connections are expected to be FWA, according to Ericsson’s June 2023 Mobility Report.
- A visualisation of MNO’s top requirements by importance – While cost, regulations, coverage, contract models, interoperability and environmental resilience are important, they are overshadowed by bandwidth, simplicity, device lifetimes and security.
The challenge OEMs need to meet is around following a process that will tick all these boxes. Thales recommends the value chain for FWA CPE devices follows device, connectivity, platform and then application. By working with a global leader like Thales, OEMs can follow the build, run and protect framework to success. Over 450 MNOs use their solution, so detailed expertise is invaluable. Glean all their insights and plan your own internal processes for enabling secure connectivity for 5G FWA access to homes with this exclusive guide below.
