5G FWA, the Fastest Growing Residential Broadband Service, to Exceed 58 Million Subscriptions in 2026

/in


Demand for efficient home broadband access is expected to drive FWA deployments and migration to higher capacity fixed networks

NEW YORK, Aug. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The worldwide residential broadband market reached a subscriber’s base of over 1.1 billion in 2020, a 4% increase from the previous year. Not surprisingly, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated demand for broadband connectivity. The need for high-capacity residential broadband will remain strong, even after the pandemic recovery. According to global tech market advisory firm ABI Research, 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) will be the fastest-growing residential broadband segment to increase at a CAGR of 71%, exceeding 58 million subscribers in 2026.

Remote working, online learning, e-commerce, and virtual healthcare drove high-speed broadband demand throughout 2020. The significant increase in the use of internet-based home entertainment such as video streaming and online gaming also pushed existing broadband users to upgrade their broadband service to a higher-tier package, while households without broadband access signed up for new subscriptions. “Increasing adoption of internet-connected devices, smart TVs, and smart home devices, as well as consumers’ media consumption through internet applications, will continue to drive high-speed broadband adoption in the years to come. In addition, many businesses are allowing remote working for some of their employees after the pandemic, which will boost the need for home broadband services even further,” explains Khin Sandi Lynn, Industry Analyst at ABI Research.

To fulfill demand, broadband operators are investing heavily in expanding higher-capacity broadband networks. While some cable operators continue to invest in and upgrade to the DOCSIS 3.1 specification, the cable standardization body, CableLabs, and other industry players are already working toward DOCSIS 4.0 technology. “Although cable companies don’t anticipate the need to deploy the new cable standard any time soon, Comcast has completed a lab test of DOCSIS 4.0 full-duplex system-on-chip from Broadband in April 2021. Cable companies are likely to stretch the life of the existing DOCSIS 3.1 standard for a few more…

Better connectivity is now essential for growth

Better connectivity is now essential for growth

One of the biggest challenges for SME businesses and growing retailers is connectivity. With online now making up a larger chunk of business and the need to not only connect consumers but also staff and systems, the network is now all.

 

In response to this growing demand for resilient networking via wifi and broadband, Vodafone has partnered with Cisco to launch ‘Complete Connectivity’, a new broadband and Wi-Fi solution designed for small and medium businesses (10 – 250 employees) and offering reliable and secure broadband connectivity across sites, with advanced security features to ensure SMEs have everything required to stay connected, secure and in complete control.

 

Complete Connectivity is designed to provide simple-to-manage, enterprise grade hardware and software to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) without the need for in-house expertise to operate. Industry leading advanced security features such as Advanced Malware Protection, Intrusion Prevention and Content Filtering also come as standard.

 

It also features an in-built mobile backup system that kicks in seamlessly should you lose WI-FI connectivity to ensure your internet connection isn’t disrupted.

 

The Federation of Small Business estimates 10,000 hacking attempts are made every day on small businesses and their users. With the rise in remote working, these cyberattacks are more prevalent than ever. This means SMEs need to prioritise best-in-class security when considering their broadband needs.

 

Starting at £70 per month on a three-year term per site, customers have access to Vodafone Superfast Fibre Broadband offering speeds of up to 76mbps to your business premises and the in-built mobile backup – should your broadband go down; the connection will automatically and seamlessly switch to Vodafone’s 4G mobile network.

 

Users also get Cisco Meraki advanced security features to keep employees, customers and business safe, as well as automatic and continuous updates from world leading security researchers to ensure you have optimal protection against new and emerging cyber threats.

 

Through integration with the Cisco Meraki platform,…
