Monthly data traffic via fixed wireless access (FWA) was measured at 24.4 exabytes in 2022, up from only 15.6 exabytes in 2021. Strong growth is expected over the coming years, with monthly FWA data traffic forecast to reach almost 143 exabytes by 2028. FWA is a technology enabling a fixed broadband connection via 5G, 4G or 3G, and is therefore able to provide broadband connections in areas with limited infrastructure. FWA data traffic outstripped that of 5G mobile connections in 2022, though 5G mobile traffic is expected to surpass FWA traffic by 2024.
