Definition

What is Fixed Wireless Access (FWA)?

Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) is a broadband internet service that uses 4G LTE or 5G wireless networks to connect a fixed location — such as a business, branch office, or home. Because FWA does not require copper, cable, or fiber to the premises, it can be deployed quickly as a primary internet connection, backup connection, or alternative to traditional wired broadband.

Applications

Common Fixed Wireless Access Use Cases

Rural and Remote Connectivity

Fixed Wireless Access delivers high-speed broadband to rural and remote locations where fiber, cable, or DSL service is unavailable, limited, or too costly to install.

Temporary and Rapid Deployments

FWA provides fast, reliable internet for construction sites, events, pop-up locations, and temporary offices without waiting for wired infrastructure.

Business Continuity and Internet Backup

Businesses can use FWA as a secondary internet connection to maintain critical operations during fiber, cable, or wired network outages.

Frequently asked questions

What is Fixed Wireless Access (FWA)?

Fixed Wireless Access delivers broadband internet to a fixed location over a cellular network (5G or LTE) instead of a wired circuit. It can serve as a site's primary connection or as an automatic failover when the wired circuit goes down.

How does cellular failover work?

DataRemote appliances continuously monitor the primary internet connection and automatically switch traffic to the 5G/LTE cellular path when the wired circuit fails — keeping voice, POTS-replacement lines, point-of-sale and other critical traffic online without manual intervention.

Can one appliance handle both internet failover and POTS replacement?

Yes. The 90X1 (5G) and 90X2 (LTE) combine a WAN/wired router with POTS line replacement and cellular failover in a single appliance, so a site's internet resilience and analog line replacement are managed together.

Is there a battery backup for outages?

Yes. The 90X1 and 90X2 include an 18-cell lithium battery providing up to 48 hours of standby and UPS power output for approved external devices, so connectivity survives power outages.
