FWA, Wi-Fi Mesh Key ‘Broadband to All’ Solutions: ABI

Wi-Fi mesh systems and fixed wireless access services are “the key technologies to bring better broadband to all,” reported ABI Research Wednesday. As demand for broadband connectivity increases, “many mature markets have reached close to 100% household penetration, resulting in higher competition among broadband operators,” it said. “Deployment of solutions and services which support better broadband user experience is becoming critical for broadband operators to achieve business success.” Wi-Fi mesh systems are gaining popularity for complete home Wi-Fi coverage and to support network management tools such as parental control, device-level traffic manipulation and troubleshooting technical issues, said ABI.
