Fixed Wireless Access - Home Network Solutions
Connecting More People, Faster, to Better Broadband
5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) is a practical, economic solution for delivering competitive fixed broadband services to homes and businesses using the mobile network.
Wireless has successfully delivered Internet services to mainly rural areas for many years, but required external, technician-installed customer premises equipment (CPE) with line-of-sight to the cell-site. This made provisioning a new customer complex, expensive, and time-consuming. Today’s non-line-of-sight FWA indoor gateways are designed for simple consumer purchase, installation, and operation – as easy as buying a mobile phone.
Leverage the FWA opportunity now with CommScope Home Networks’ high-performance, indoor FWA gateways to unlock new revenue streams and deliver value-added services to more homes and businesses – accelerating the ROI of your 5G network.

Enhanced Wi-Fi performance throughout the home
Our 5G FWA gateways deliver high-performance, low-latency broadband services to the end device. With integrated Wi-Fi 6 (W-Fi 7 is on the horizon), and supporting HomeAssure® and other Wi-Fi management platforms, customers can enjoy a superior Wi-Fi connection throughout the home – ensuring optimized, low-latency performance for all their connected devices. Wi-Fi 6 extenders with Wi-Fi EasyMesh™ expand coverage and improve performance in larger homes.
A platform for enhanced services
Our HomeVantage FWA solutions use open-source software to allow service providers to harness the innovation of industry-wide communities and ecosystems to efficiently deliver value-added services and applications and improve the customer experience.
CommScope Home Networks’ HomeAssure enables the delivery of advanced services with high levels of proactive customer support, enhancing customer satisfaction and reducing costs – providing all the tools necessary to provision, manage, optimize, and support the home network, including Wi-Fi.
Enhancing the fixed-line network
FWA can be an attractive means to quickly and cost-effectively extend reach beyond the fixed network and accelerate the acquisition of new subscribers ahead of last-mile fiber deployment. Lower cost and rapid deployment of FWA can complement a fiber strategy, particularly when faced with competitive pressure to deploy broadband service quickly.
By pairing CommScope’s FWA home gateways with ONT/ONU/modems, subscribers can be quickly connected while fiber is installed to the premises, reducing the risk of churn. They also provide a back-up for enhanced levels of availability; automatically switching to the mobile network should the fixed network fail.
