Operators are turning to mobile networks to deliver residential and business broadband services. They are using LTE, LTE-Advanced and 5G networks to deliver services in locations that are poorly served, or not served at all, by fixed-line broadband technologies. Some are offering mobile-based services as an alternative to fixed-line broadband technologies. But do you know the latest data on the status of operators' FWA services globally and the health of the CPE ecosystem that powers them? Join the GSA Research Team in this 30-minute snapshot webinar on Thursday 14th November @ 16:00 GMT to understand the current status of LTE-5G FWA services globally.

The Highlands and Islands face unique connectivity challenges that must be overcome to deliver digital equality – and all the benefits it brings – across Scotland. That is why we are pleased to announce a £10m follow-on investment into HBNL to expand its delivery of ultrafast broadband coverage, helping tackle digital inequality in the Highlands.    More important than the broadband is what the connectivity enables. Watch below to hear the stories of some of the communities that have been positively impacted.

5G is halfway through its lifecycle as a one-generation solution, but why is its growth so difficult in the UK? Operators have never really understood the business model of 5G and have tried to replicate the success of the network pipeline operations of the 3G and 4G era. They wasted lots of time.... https://lnkd.in/edMBBFUm It's time to rethink your application business. https://lnkd.in/ejt54TC3

Need another great reason for the Competition and Markets Authority to approve the proposed merger between Vodafone and Three UK? Try improved railway coverage! According to the MNOs if the merger is approved it will mean they can deploy true 5G across the UK’s rail network, which they claim would unlock £3 billion for the UK economy. I am always sceptical on some stats like this, not to mention others like how stand-alone 5G would reduce delays on the rail network, but it would be nice to be able to connect when on a train! #connectivity #networks #investment #innovation #mnos #2g #3g #4g #5g #business #UK #masts #growth #mobile #mobilenetworks #telecoms #telecommunications #technology #rail #railways https://lnkd.in/ee8yrxHt

In Q2 2024, global fixed broadband connections reached 1.46 billion, following a quarterly growth of 0.95%.  We recorded a decline in fixed broadband subscriptions in 18 countries[1], down from 23 in Q1 2024. Some of these markets have high mobile subscriber penetration, others are experiencing economic headwinds or are already highly saturated markets, for example Hong Kong, Switzerland, Monaco. Yet others are still at war. https://lnkd.in/eAkmBTjC #broadband #FWA #satellite #fullfibre #broadbandsubscribers #isps

In an increasingly #connected world, the demand for faster and more reliable #internet access has never been higher. Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) technology has emerged as a key solution to meet this growing demand. To clarify our support for full-fibre over other #broadband options, the #FTTH Council Europe's Deployment & Operations Committee has created a white paper based on the member survey: “Broadband technologies ranking”. The study evaluates various #fibre and fibre-extension broadband technologies to aid Service Providers, Investors, Municipalities, and Government entities in delivering broadband to communities. Read this guide and explore some of the emerging trends in FTTH deployments and how this technology is revolutionising the future of broadband connectivity ➡️

Fibre broadband infrastructure is energy efficient once deployed, but the deployment process can have a considerable impact on the local environment, workers and local communities. The high cost of deployment also contributes to a persistent digital divide meaning that the socioeconomic benefits of fibre broadband are not evenly distributed.
