FWA Opportunity

The company cited GlobalData estimates which say the total US broadband services revenue market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.2 percent from USD 102.9 billion in 2023 to USD 126.3 billion in 2028, and FWA is set to grow from 7.2 percent market share in 2023 to 15.8 percent with revenues just under USD 20 billion in 2028.

iBASIS noted that FWA is gaining traction for its speed and easy installation, as traditional offerings have struggled with a one-size-fits-all approach.

“This approach relies on the deployment of a SIM card from a single Tier 1 operator with the assumption that there is a strong signal at every address and that their network will never fail. The limitations of this approach require solution providers to augment the solution to account for coverage gaps or network failures. The workaround solution typically deployed incurs significant additional costs,” the company said.
