In the first installment of this series on fixed wireless access (FWA), I introduced some of the economic and technical challenges facing fixed wireless providers in delivering the capacity, reliability, and consistency on par with wired broadband connections. In this second entry, I’ll look at the FWA offerings from the cellular operators. In subsequent posts, we’ll look at the new low-earth-orbit satellite (LEOS) constellations SpaceX’s Starlink is planning and Amazon’s Kuiper. We’ll also examine more esoteric options for delivering Internet access without wires.
