"The report defined fixed wireless access ( FWA) as establishing a connection over a radio link for communications between a base station and user equipment, such as 5G modems, that are typically installed in the apartment. The Broadband Forum added that for radio frequencies below 6 GHz, a 5G network is suitable to provide broadband services with a high level of coverage. But for gigabit-level or multi-gigabit speeds, broadband service providers want to make use of high-band "frequency range 2" 5G mmWave spectrum at 24-40 GHz."
"defining an architecture and requirements for serving multiple tenants in an MDU via FWA through converged and pure 5G network approaches. The topline finding was that multiple tenants and apartments can share high capacity 5G mmWave links through using existing in-building infrastructure so that delivering 5G broadband to apartment buildings gets simpler, through to a new specification that allows a single 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) modem to deliver high speed connectivity to multiple tenants."
Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) establishes a radio link between a base station and user equipment, with 5G modems often installed in apartments. Frequencies below 6 GHz provide wide 5G coverage, while high-band "frequency range 2" mmWave at 24–40 GHz is preferred for gigabit and multi-gigabit speeds but experiences greater attenuation through walls, favouring outdoor CPE architectures. A 2023 research effort defined architectures and requirements to reuse existing in-building infrastructure so multiple tenants can share a single 5G FWA connection. A new specification enables one 5G FWA modem to serve multiple apartments, addressing limited >1Gbps options where fibre is absent.
