Fixed Wireless Access highlights the crucial role of Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) in expanding high-speed internet access, particularly in rural and underserved areas, to bridge the Digital Divide. By leveraging 6G’s advancements in spectrum efficiency, reliability, and performance, FWA offers a cost-effective alternative to wired broadband, delivering improved connectivity for homes, businesses, and industries. Key applications include FWA as a Service, smart factories, and underutilized spectrum exploitation, with additional benefits spanning education, gaming, e-health, and public safety. As FWA technology evolves alongside 6G, it will ensure seamless connectivity with enhanced broadband performance, driving equitable digital inclusion and economic growth.

The paper explores how FWA will enhance last-mile connectivity, network resilience, and industrial automation through high-capacity, low-latency networks. The adoption of millimeter wave (mmWave) and future spectrum allocations will further expand FWA’s reach, supporting critical applications such as predictive maintenance in smart factories, cybersecurity solutions, and custom network infrastructures for SMEs. Additionally, 6G FWA’s high reliability (99.99% uptime) and projected data rates of 100 Mbps (UL) and 250 Mbps (DL) make it a viable solution for emerging smart city and IoT applications. By providing scalable, secure, and efficient broadband access, FWA is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the digital future across multiple industries.
