The best network is not always the best technology. If it was, there would be fiber everywhere – to every farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse, and doghouse (to borrow a phrase). Which would be a crazy undertaking, clearly. So the best network, quite simply, is the one that makes best sense. Sometimes, often even, the very best uses fixed wireless access (FWA) for at least part of the job, notably running in the unlicensed 5GHz and 6GHz bands – as provided by Mimosa Networks on every continent, ranging from backwoods rural America to the densest urban chokepoints in India’s biggest cities. It is a familiar argument, perhaps, but one that needs making again.

And one you can hear this Wednesday (September 23) – when I am joined for a free webinar by Jim Nevelle, senior vice president and general manager at Mimosa, who will explain why the BEAD program is failing for many wireless ISPs, and why they might consider FWA to fix their business plans instead. Nevelle has three deployments to tell us about, which show how FWA works for broadband access in vastly different operating conditions: with Prairie Hills Wireless and Viaero Wireless, variously, across the Great Plains of the US, and with parent company Reliance Jio across thousands of cities, towns, and rural areas in 25 states throughout India.
