Speaking at TNO\u2019s Ultra-fast Broadband Seminar, held in The Netherlands, Els Baert delved into the importance of a stable, fast connection for homeowners and businesses who currently remain in the broadband slow lane with inadequate speeds, harming productivity. \u201cAlthough we have the capabilities to upgrade networks to 1Gbps, there are still many households that don\u2019t have access to high-speed broadband,\u201d said Baert. \u201cEnd-users with an unreliable connection don\u2019t want to pay a large fee to upgrade their service to 1Gbps but are more than willing to pay to be connected or to get speeds of 50Mbps. \u201cThe internet has been reclassified.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macpcguys.co.uk\/carbon-fibre-iphone-8-plus-case.html\">carbon fibre iphone 8 plus case<\/a> It is now a public utility in the world, standing alongside water, electricity and gas in terms of social importance,\u201d she added. \u201cIt would be reasonable to suggest a link between broadband growth and economic development as governments across the globe are becoming more and more aware of the critical need for national connectivity.\u201d The European Commission aims to roll-out 100 Mbps speeds to 100% of its citizens by 2025, but this cannot be done without taking a new approach to fixed broadband using wireless technology, Baert added. She continued: \u201cMany operators have spectrum available in rural areas that is underutilised and which can be used to offer fixed broadband services to evolve to ubiquitous broadband.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macpcguys.co.uk\/silicone-case-for-iphone-8.html\">silicone case for iphone 8<\/a> To expand the addressable market even further, the challenge exists in the scenario where an operator does not have a lead in to provide a service.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.the-guide-poker.co.uk\/bape-phone-case-iphone-6.html\">bape phone case iphone 6<\/a> With the evolution of cellular technology, it is now possible to deliver broadband services over a wireless connection as opposed to fixed lines. In suburban areas, there is less spectrum available, but it can still be leveraged to connect end-users quickly and cost-effectively. \u201cIn urban areas, the spectrum is fully utilised and as a result there is a major challenge to add fixed wireless services on top of that.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.legendsreunited.co.uk\/coca-cola-iphone-6-case.html\">coca cola iphone 6 case<\/a> Yet with new innovations being added to the 3GPP standard in the road to 5G, it will be possible to offer fixed wireless services.\u201d According to a Market Insights Report, the Fixed Wireless Access market has emerged as one of the most predominant use cases for 5G network rollouts to deliver last-mile connectivity, with the market expected to grow to a worth of more than $40 billion by 2025. When using wireless technologies for fixed broadband services, Baert said operators need to be aware that current mobile networks are not built for fixed broadband services. Visibility and control is limited to the base station and therefore the same quality of service cannot be guaranteed. End-users expect reliability, higher speeds and support from a fixed broadband service. Baert added: \u201cThe responsibility of an operator in a traditional mobile network ends at the base station meaning there is no guaranteed service or reliability. Operators should expand the so-called \u201ctrusted zone\u201d if they want to use fixed wireless as a true alternative to fixed broadband.\u201d By extending the trusted zone, Baert explained, operators can start connecting homes with a directional antenna which needs to be installed with optimised tools to find the closest base stations to allow for the most direct line of sight. This will result in a higher Signal-to-Noise ratio and allows the user to know exactly the type of speed the network is able to provide at all times.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bnb-tayvallich.co.uk\/cases-iphone-6-marble.html\">cases iphone 6 marble<\/a> The trusted zone eradicates the worries of lesser control for mobile as it provides the operator with more visibility and control over the broadband experience. It enables them to remotely monitor and manage the connection to avoid unnecessary truck rolls which result in high operational costs. Using this higher bandwidth technology brings several benefits for operators, Baert continued: \u201cBy expanding their service offering they are not only connecting end-users, but, as automation hits, it also allows for machine-to-machine communications. Once the fixed wireless network is installed, operators can use this network to expand as they grow.\u201d NetComm Wireless is building momentum for this alternative approach with its Intelligent Fixed Wireless Access (IFWA) carrier-grade solutions which are guaranteed to provide reliable performance to targeted premises.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.taxdiary.co.uk\/iphone-7-phone-case-ulak.html\">iphone 7 phone case ulak<\/a> Proven to perform at a level that brings fixed line equivalent broadband reliability to homes and businesses in hard to reach areas, the IFWA is a fast and economical substitute to fixed broadband. \u2028\u201cThere is a huge opportunity for operators to find new revenue streams if they use fixed wireless,\u201d Baert concluded.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bnb-tayvallich.co.uk\/iphone-7-case-drag-race.html\">iphone 7 case drag race<\/a> \u201cFrom security and surveillance, healthcare, and infrastructure, the solution can be utilised and manipulated to work for what you need it to do. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Opening up new revenue streams and expanding the addressable market will never be fully achieved if operators continue to use traditional broadband services and don\u2019t leverage mobile network assets, NetComm Wireless\u2019 Director of Technology Strategy warned today.
