Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) is a type of 4G LTE or 5G wireless technology that uses radio frequencies to deliver wireless broadband between two fixed sites. The fixed sites include the receiver's location where the antenna are installed to receive the signals from the base stations, which are mounted at high elevations on cell towers. Alternatively, this technology is a sustainable option to cable, fiber, satellite, and fixed-line DSL to deliver wireless internet connectivity to households or businesses. It also enables internet service providers (ISPs) to provide ultra-high-speed internet with low latency in suburban and rural regions, where installing or maintaining fiber optic cable would be prohibitively expensive.
