India's FWA Market Grows as 5G Expands

India is becoming a big player in the fixed wireless access (FWA) market in Asia.

FWA is a way to get internet without using traditional fixed-line broadband like fiber.

In India, FWA is getting almost as reliable as fixed-line broadband, with 62% of tests meeting quality standards compared to 70% for fixed-line.

This is a much smaller gap than in other countries.

People in India are using more home Wi-Fi, and companies like Jio and Airtel are pushing FWA services.

This is especially important in areas where fixed-line broadband is not available or is unevenly deployed.

India is now one of the more advanced markets for FWA, alongside countries like Australia and the Philippines.

As 5G technology expands, FWA is becoming a key part of India's broadband strategy, making internet access more flexible and widely available.
