Expereo boosts global connectivity with Fixed Wireless Access
Wed, 17th Apr 2024

Expereo has announced Fixed Wireless Access (FWA). This latest innovation equips businesses with direct access to wireless networks in 190 countries, thereby proving instrumental in facilitating business continuity through network resilience. Companies will also benefit from swift and flexible deployment and access, even in remote locations.

FWA serves as a durable, cost-effective stand-in for business continuity in the event of fixed-line network breakdowns, which can occur due to reasons like cable cuts or hardware or software failures. Places where business operations are crucial cannot afford any network downtime; thus, FWA. This provides a tech-diverse, reliable continuity option, eliminating the need to implement a second fixed-line. With a vendor-agnostic solution, businesses can rest assured of connecting to the most potent possible mobile network whenever necessary.

In addition to serving as a reliable alternative in times of network outages, FWA is advantageous for rapid, agile deployments. Often installed within weeks instead of months, it facilitates the speedy connection of operations, enabling businesses to leverage new growth opportunities during the tenure of fixed-line deployments. FWA is also practical as a primary connectivity option in areas that are temporary, challenging to reach or remote. This presents a golden opportunity for growing businesses to identify and establish branch offices or field locations in areas where wired connections are unavailable or impossible to implement.

Exclusive to the Expereo experience, FWA integrates into Expereo’s customer experience platform, expereoOne, to offer businesses a comprehensive, intuitive view of their Global Internet and SD-WAN estate. With regard to FWA, this implies that IT Teams have total visibility of their monthly bills and a real-time update of all data pools and bundles. They also have information about signal strength, signal quality and the carriers providing the connectivity - a comprehensive view at any time.

Sander Barens, Chief Product Officer at Expereo, remarks, "Today, always on internet connectivity is essential for business growth and efficiency. Enterprise businesses need to deploy a connectivity strategy to meet today's challenges. Fixed access will always be the driving force of connectivity, but it’s not always the best solution. When you need to be up and running quickly or in a remote location, that is when Fixed Wireless Access comes into play - fast deployments wherever you need it."

Barens concluded, "Connectivity solutions no longer need to be either/or. When you work with a partner who understands your connectivity needs and has the portfolio, experience and global coverage to help you set the strategy for your business, you can rest easy knowing that your business will be connected 24/7 around the globe."
