What Exactly is a Fully Managed Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) Solution?

Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) provides fast, reliable, and affordable wireless 4G or 5G cellular connectivity to any number of endpoints (routers) located virtually anywhere while supporting various business-critical applications.   Adding the fully managed aspect means that the routers are bundled with a cellular data plan and are configured, installed, managed, and supported on an ongoing basis by professional network administrators. This includes monitoring data usage and sending alarms and alerts in the event of a network outage.

Applications have traditionally included Wireless Failover, POTS Replacement, SD-WAN, Digital Signage, Video Surveillance, Out-Of-Band-Management, and more. However, with the advent of 5G, virtually any application that requires a landline connection can now use a 5G connection to provide the same, if not higher, level of performance and reliability.

Why is Fully Managed a key element of a FWA Solution?

Would you trust your network, mission-critical applications, and team productivity to just anyone off the street? Absolutely NOT – businesses cannot cut corners with mission-critical network connectivity issues because without network connectivity, you cannot process credit cards, manage your remote signage, or other business-critical applications. This means you should always look for an enterprise-class solution that includes highly reliable enterprise-class routers with enterprise-class configuration by certifed engineers, remote monitoring and management, and enterprise-class ongoing technical support.
