Breakthrough in 5G FWA to Bring High-Speed Broadband to MDUs

The Broadband Forum has introduced a new specification for 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) that enables high-speed broadband connectivity for multiple tenants in apartment buildings using existing infrastructure. This innovation addresses challenges in Multi Dwelling Units (MDUs) by allowing a single 5G FWA modem to serve multiple apartments, enhancing service options beyond 1Gbps. The specification promises efficient use of 5G resources, simplified management, and reduced costs for operators, making high-capacity broadband more accessible to residents.
