Ericsson’s recent Mobility Report forecasts global FWA subscriptions to grow at 19% year-on-year from 2022 to 2028 to reach more than 300 million by 2028. Much of this growth will be based on 5G.
The use of FWA for home and business broadband is proving to be a major early use case for 5G, especially in regions where the fixed broadband market is lacking. The data shows that almost 40% of 5G FWA launches came in emerging markets in the past year.
