What is 5G Fixed Wireless Access (5G FWA)?

5G FWA provides a dedicated high-speed internet connection at a fixed location (such as a home, business, or commercial building). It delivers wireless connectivity with speeds comparable to fiber, fast installation, and low latency. Because expectations are high and adoption is growing, 5G FWA services require stringent, reliable service assurance to prevent network issues from becoming customer-facing service problems.

What is a 5G “Fixed Wireless Access”?

5G Fixed Wireless Access (5G FWA) uses a radio link to provide broadband internet to static buildings like homes and businesses—without physically connecting cables or fiber. It typically involves a base station transmitting signals, customer premises equipment (CPE) receiving signals via an antenna, radio signals carrying the data, backhaul connecting to the internet backbone, and network management to ensure reliable service. 5G FWA can operate over multiple radio technologies, including 4G LTE and 5G SA.

What capabilities are required for monitoring the performance of 5G FWA services?

Effective monitoring requires a comprehensive approach that integrates key capabilities such as probe data monitoring, performance management data monitoring, and Radio Resource Control (RRC) monitoring. Together these enable robust performance management, faster troubleshooting, and support for long-term capacity planning and network optimization.

Why is real-time monitoring for 5G FWA so important?

Real-time monitoring is crucial for immediate issue resolution (to minimize downtime and maintain service quality), network performance optimization (to identify bottlenecks and improve resource allocation), and quality management (to ensure promised speeds and reliability for customer satisfaction and retention). It also supports meeting customer expectations and regulatory requirements.
