The anticipated surge in the adoption of 5G networks is poised to propel the expansion of the 5G fixed wireless access market in the forthcoming years. Recognized as the fifth generation of mobile data technology, 5G is strategically designed to markedly enhance wireless network speed and flexibility. This transformative technology enables mobile networks to effectively meet the requirements of fixed-line networks while accommodating diverse price ranges. Future Networks, a UK-based telecommunications company, projects that 5G connections will reach 1.2 billion by the conclusion of 2025. Additionally, vXchnge, a US-based company specializing in data centers and colocation services, forecasts that 5G networks will encompass 40% of the global landscape and manage 25% of total mobile traffic data by 2024. The escalating adoption of 5G networks stands as a key driver fueling the growth of 5G fixed wireless access.
The rising Internet penetration is anticipated to accelerate the growth of the 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) market in the coming years. Internet penetration refers to the percentage of a country's population that has access to the Internet, as reflected by the number of Internet users. Increased Internet penetration fosters a more favorable environment for the successful deployment and adoption of 5G FWA, thus driving its growth and contributing to a more connected and digitally advanced society. For example, in February 2023, Meltwater, a Netherlands-based software company, reported that the number of internet users in the UK increased by 224,000 (+0.3 percent) from 2022 to 2023, bringing the total to 66.11 million internet users in the UK. Therefore, the growing Internet penetration is propelling the growth of the 5G fixed wireless access market.
Companies are strategically concentrating on product innovations and the development of novel solutions to fortify their market positions in the dynamic landscape of the 5G fixed wireless access market. A case in point is Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., an American multinational corporation specializing in the design and manufacture of digital wireless telecommunication products and services. In February 2022, Qualcomm Technologies introduced the Qualcomm 5G Fixed Wireless Access Platform Gen 2, featuring enhanced capabilities and features. This includes the innovative Qualcomm 5G RF Sensing Suite and support for standalone 5G mmWave communication. These advancements, including two critical functions, are poised to boost the adoption and deployment of Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), underscoring Qualcomm Technologies' ongoing leadership in the widespread integration of 5G mmWave technology.
Companies are actively integrating cutting-edge technologies into their product portfolios, with a specific focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Machine learning, in particular, plays a pivotal role in assisting wireless operators in the deployment, operation, and management of 5G networks, particularly in the context of the expanding Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. Concurrently, AI is being leveraged to enhance customer service and elevate the overall customer experience. As an illustration, in February 2022, Nokia, a telecommunications company based in Finland, unveiled its Intelligent RAN Operations solution. This innovative solution, driven by machine learning, is tailored to manage the growing complexity of 5G networks. By enabling mobile operators to optimize 5G network quality, efficiency, and subscriber experience, while concurrently reducing operational costs, energy consumption, and CO2 emissions, Nokia's solution aligns with the company's commitment to sustainability and the fight against climate change.
In October 2022, Curvalux UK Ltd., a UK-based wireless broadband technology firm, merged with Cambridge Broadband Networks Group (CBNG) for an undisclosed sum. The merger's objective is to revolutionize the wireless market by introducing sustainable technologies that offer fast, dependable, and cost-effective connectivity, particularly catering to the high-speed Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) demand.
