New Delhi, Oct 27 : Telecom network solution provider HFCL on Friday said it has launched India’s first indigenous 5G FWA (Fixed Wireless Access) CPE (Customer Premise Equipment) solution.
“Pioneering innovative and indigenously developed technology products, HFCL’s portfolio of Indoor and Outdoor 5G FWA CPE products will accelerate broadband penetration in urban, rural areas of India and help bridge the last-mile connectivity challenge in India and other key global markets,” the company said in a media release.
The telecom firm said there has been a remarkable surge in demand for safe and high-speed internet access in India driving the need for fiberisation and increased broadband penetration.
“In addition, the rising data demand from micro, small and medium enterprises is further pushing the need for an innovative connectivity solution,” it said.
A report from Bank of America has estimated that 5G-based FWA services could be worth up to $9 billion a year and may be a valuable substitute for fibre broadband.
HFCL said its range of 5G FWA CPE supports both 5G SA and NSA technologies across multiple Sub-6 GHz and mmWave frequency bands to offer cost-effective and fibre-like speeds to customers using the 5G network.
“HFCL’s 5G FWA CPE portfolio offers new business opportunities for telecom service providers (TSPs) by allowing them to offer fixed internet broadband services to consumers and enterprises using their 5G network infrastructure,” it said.
