Wi-Fi 7 and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA)

Recently, Qualcomm announced that fiber and fixed wireless access are central to India’s broadband expansion as it expects 10 Gbps to be the average speed by 2028.

Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that allows electronic devices to interface with the Internet.
Wi-Fi 7 – Also known as IEEE 802.11 be Extremely High Throughput (EHT).
It has better reliability and enhanced privacy and security.
Features – 4.8× faster than Wi-Fi 6 and accelerates up to 46 Gbps
100× lower latency ( 60% lesser than Wi-Fi 6)
5× network capacity with 320 MHz and Multi-Link Operation (MLO - Enables devices to simultaneously send and receive data across different frequency bands and channels)
Works across all 3 bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz)
Supports 4000 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM- a method to transmit and receive data in radio-frequency waves).

Fixed Wireless Access (FWA)

It is a type of 5G or 4G LTE wireless technology which provide wireless broadband connectivity between 2 fixed points.
It transmits data using radio frequencies instead of cables.
It is available for both licensed and unlicensed spectrum.
Advantage - As FWA does not need a physical connection into a building, new geographies can be covered, and new customers can be connected, much more quickly and cheaply than with fiber.
Disadvantages – It has limited transmission distance and environmental factors can impact its performance.

A digital desert is an area where there is little or no access to high speed internet.
