Fixed Wireless Could Provide Net for 50% of Rural Homes: CTIA

5G fixed wireless could serve 8.4 million rural households, about half the rural homes in the U.S., with a “'future-proof,’ rapidly deployable, and cost-effective high-speed broadband option,” said a CTIA-commissioned study by Accenture. “These findings underscore the value of U.S. infrastructure policy embracing both wired and 5G fixed wireless home broadband solutions to help connect the unconnected as fast as possible,” said CTIA President Meredith Baker Thursday.
