Fixed Wireless Access
High-Speed, Low-Latency Broadband Connectivity
Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) delivers high-speed broadband over the air, extending fiber-like connectivity to homes and businesses without the cost and disruption of trenching cable. Peraso's mmWave silicon operates in the unlicensed 60 GHz band, unlocking the wide channels and multi-gigabit capacity that make FWA a practical alternative to wired networks, helping close the digital divide in underserved and hard-to-reach areas.
mmWave Spectrum for Fixed Wireless Broadband
Current Issue
- Cost
- Monopolistic service providers
- Underserved remote and low-income regions
- Power consumption
- Spectrum congestion
- Latency and speed variability
- Data density
Opportunities
- Deploy new broadband services without trenching for cable or fiber
- Compete with incumbent wired infrastructure
- Address underserved regions with low-cost terminals and infrastructure
Advantages
- Affordability
- Low size, weight and power (SWaP)
- Ultra-fast speeds and high capacity
- Rapid deployment in urban and suburban areas
- High data density for dense networks
- Relief from spectrum congestion
Overall, the unique characteristics of 60 GHz communications make them highly advantageous for providing ultra-fast, high-capacity internet in areas where traditional wired solutions are not feasible. With the growing demand for high-speed, low-latency connectivity, mmWave FWA will play a crucial role in expanding broadband access in urban, suburban, and rural areas alike.
