Airspan Networks has partnered with Prospecta Utilities to deploy a state-of-the-art 5G mmWave Fixed Wireless Access Network (FWA) across Australia.
The deployment is expected to transform the way citizens and enterprises will connect and communicate. Prospecta Utilities aims to transform the telecommunications infrastructure within its home campus, GemLife. The company’s investment in its own telecommunications infrastructure will not only enhance the overall business case but also reduce the fixed fees paid to service providers.
Airspan’s mmWave AIO Outdoor Small Cell will power the project. With the deployment of Airspan’s AIR5G 7200 5G solution, embedded with CU/DU (centralised unit/ distributed unit) running SA software, Prospecta Utilities will be able to deliver a real alternative to fibre-based solutions, said the company in a statement.
With the deployment of this infrastructure, residents will gain access to a range of triple-play services, including high-speed data, voice, video, and even video-on-demand. The 5G mmWave Fixed Wireless Access network project across Australia under the collaboration will begin pilot testing by March 2024, marking Airspan’s first mmWave Standalone deployment.
