Dell & # 39th Oro: global expenditure on fixed wireless access equipment will exceed $25 billion in the next five years

Total revenue from fixed wireless access (FWA), including RAN equipment and CPE revenue, will continue to grow by 35 per cent in 2022, driven by user growth in North America, according to a recent Dell 'Oro survey.

"fixed wireless access has become a key component in bridging the digital divide and connecting global rural and underserved markets." "We also see that FWA can effectively compete with existing fixed broadband technologies, especially with the advent of 5G and other higher throughput, non-3Gpp technologies," said Jeff Heynen, vice president and analyst at Dell 'Oro.

Other key points of the report:

● expects global FWA revenue to exceed $5 billion by 2026, reflecting continued investment and user growth based on 3GPP and non-3GPP network deployments.

The North American market remains the most dynamic in terms of deployed FWA technology options for ●, with CBRS and other options lower than 6Ghz growing along with 5G NR and 6GHz options.

● is expected to see long-term user growth in emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and MEA due to the upgrading of existing LTE networks and the needs of economically connected users.

● benefits from low-orbit satellite-based providers such as Starlink, OneWeb and Project Kuiper, and the satellite broadband market will also be a key driver of broadband connectivity in emerging markets.
