Of course FWA is future proof. FWA is the only edge technology that passes future homes and businesses before those structures are ever built, and without additional capital investment. 🙂 A wired last-mile, on the other hand, is never future-proof, regardless of the technology. Future homes and businesses located beyond the wired-edge are (sadly) the future unserved. 🙁 If the future belongs to the connected, as the FCC Chairwoman states, then we should be building more fixed wireless now to power the homes and businesses of tomorrow. 💡 #FWA #5G #WISP #broadband #internet #futureproof #digitaldivide #unserved #unconnected #digitalequity #digitalinclusion

One small marina outside Houston, Texas. CSG #M519 + CSG #Siren Antenna + POTSOLVE + One Talk. That's right. #5G #FWA, Signal Remediation, Pots Replacement, VOIP/UCAAS. One small site - completely modernizing a small business - dramatically cutting their monthly cost AND improving speeds significantly. This is why we do what we do for small business. This right here. This is #CSG.

I'll be attending Fiber Broadband Association #FiberConnect24 #FB24 in Nashville between 28-30th July. If anyone would like to meet, or if you're a vendor or CSP running analyst briefings, please let me know. I'm principally interested in: - Trends in US fiber business models, especially #openaccess and wholesale - Integration of #FTTP and #FWA - Disaggregated FTTP infrastructure, eg whitebox OLTs, OpenBNG etc - #WiFi for CSPs, especially #WiFi7 and support of IoT / Matter etc - Broadband olicy eg BEAD, impact of Chevron, link to spectrum for FWA etc - Overall views on fixed broadband industry structure & competition - Read-across from US FTTP market to/from international market Drop me a line and we can try to schedule something, although FYI I'm intending to be in quite a lot of the conference breakout sessions. UPDATE: sadly I will not be at FC24 after all, because of a family issue that means I need to stay in London

In light of the recent Spectrum outages across Texas, the importance of carrier diversity in our digital infrastructure has never been clearer. Businesses relying on a single provider face significant risks when outages occur, leading to downtime, lost revenue, and frustrated customers. According to ValleyCentral, Spectrum experienced widespread outages, disrupting service for countless users across Texas. This incident highlights the vulnerabilities of depending on a single carrier. At FiberLight, we understand the critical need for reliable, uninterrupted service. By offering diverse, high-capacity fiber networks, we ensure that your business stays connected, even when others are down. Don't let outages dictate your operations. Choose FiberLight for resilient, dependable connectivity. #FiberLight #CarrierDiversity #Connectivity #BusinessContinuity #TechSolutions Read more about the outage [here](https://lnkd.in/gJm5Qcit).
