Fixed wireless access broadband devices typically use 4G or 5G mobile signals for high-speed home connectivity. Most 5G FWA deployments currently leverage low-band (sub-2 GHz) or mid-band (2-6 GHz) radio frequencies, but as FWA networks expand, additional spectrum will be needed to support future growth.

Operators are now looking to increase speeds by using even more frequencies, particularly in the high-band spectrum known as mmWave (24 GHz to 40 GHz). However, higher radio frequencies pose propagation problems, as they are more likely to be obstructed by physical obstacles.

Nokia's 360 High Gain 5G mmWave technology captures a 360 mmWave fingerprint of the indoor environment, capturing direct and reflected signals from any direction and adapting to the changing environment through advanced analysis.
