British Test and assurance solutions provider Spirent Communications has introduced new 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) testing services. The solutions provide comprehensive lab-based 5G/Wi-Fi gateway testing and live network benchmarking to help communications service providers (CSPs) and device manufacturers optimise network performance and improve quality of experience (QoE).

Demand for Network Performance Evaluation
Spirent says with 200 CSPs offering 5G FWA home services and 20 CSPs launching business offerings, demand for network evaluation is growing. Spirent’s new services aim to address this by offering critical insights into user experience and enabling operators to enhance customer satisfaction and drive revenue growth.
"5G FWA represents a growing trend and significant opportunity for CSPs to expand their revenue streams," said Stephen Douglas, Head of Market Strategy at Spirent on Tuesday.
"Expanding its monetisation potential means making testing of the user experience a priority and that’s what our latest solutions offer. It will also potentially save service providers, device, and network vendors millions of dollars in troubleshooting costs by enabling them to identify problems earlier in the development cycle."

This enables CSPs to benchmark their services against competitors, enhance infrastructure efficiency, and deliver premium QoE during both peak and off-peak demand, the company said.
