Fixed Wireless Access (FWA)’s adoption is spreading as technologies such as Siklu’s enable it in a cost-effective and reliable manner. It is reassuring to see support from leading political figures in the US for Gigabit speed-fixed wireless access services to close the digital divide, especially in rural and “small town” areas. Fixed access wireless IS a viable and proven technology and should be considered as such for broadband funding programs – and the unlicensed mm-wave spectrum is the best way to deliver it at Gigabit speeds.
““We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to get this right,” added one of the senators in favor of the move. “Let’s keep broadband about people and ensure that no one is left behind because of their zip code. Broadband is not a one-size-fits all service. Different states, regions, communities, and differing terrain will require different solutions. Removing options off the table will result in communities being left behind,” the senators wrote. “Solutions that work in urban areas may not work in rural America where farms and homes can be miles apart.
