Enterprise and integrated next-gen communications products provider
HFCL on Friday launched India's first indigenous 5G FWA (fixed wireless
access) customer premise equipment (CPE) solution.
The indoor and
outdoor 5G FWA CPE products will accelerate broadband penetration in
urban, rural areas and help bridge the last-mile connectivity, the
company said in a statement.
Built to complement wired broadband
connections in areas where fibre rollout is limited, HFCL’s range of 5G
FWA CPE supports both 5G SA and NSA technologies across multiple Sub-6
GHz and mmWave frequency bands to offer cost-effective and fibre-like
speeds to customers using the 5G network.
“HFCL’s 5G FWA CPE
portfolio of plug-and-play devices are lightweight, compact in size,
have minimum power consumption and provide customer friendly features
like Wi-Fi 6 technology to connect a large number of devices at high
speed,” said the company.
The solution comes with an AI-integrated
mobile app for self-installation and assists in identifying the best
location with strong signal reception.
HFCL’s 5G FWA CPE portfolio
offers new business opportunities for telecom service providers (TSPs)
by allowing them to offer fixed internet broadband services to consumers
and enterprises using their 5G network infrastructure.
Founded by Mahendra Nahata in 1987, HFCL specialises in creating digital networks for telcos, enterprises and governments.
