53. Fixed Wireless Access with Samsung's TJ Maan

In this 5G Guys podcast episode, Wayne and Dan welcome TJ Maan from Samsung to discuss Fixed Wireless Access (FWA). TJ explains what FWA is and its benefits over traditional wireline broadband delivery technologies, noting its speed, reliability, and usefulness in areas where DSL or fiber may face logistical issues. TJ also discusses how FWA has evolved over time, particularly with the rise of 5G and the involvement of tier-one operators such as Verizon and T-Mobile. They also discuss the possible role of regional operators in providing FWA and how FWA can help bridge the digital divide, especially with government funding initiatives. TJ also explains how Samsung participates in the FWA market and dives into the technological aspects that have allowed FWA to become more competitive and reliable.   __________________________ Connect With Our Guest __________________________      Samsung Networks ➡︎ https://www.samsung.com/global/business/networks/   __________________________ Connect With Our Sponsor __________________________      Vertex Innovations ➡︎ https://vertex-us.com/   __________________________ Connect With Us __________________________      5G Guys Website ➡︎  https://5gguys.com        Social:        ·       Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/5Gguys      ·       LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12515882      ·       X: https://twitter.com/5gGuys   _______________________________ Submit Your Ideas or Feedback ➡︎ https://5gguys.com/contact-2 _______________________________   ⏰Episode Minute-by-Minute⏰   00:00 Sneak Peek 00:59 Introduction to the 5G Guys Podcast 01:28 Welcome 01:39 Guest Introduction: TJ Mann from Samsung 02:11 Understanding Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) 03:26 The Evolution of Fixed Wireless Access 06:30 The Role of Samsung in the FWA Market 08:18 Understanding MIMO Technology 10:17 The Impact of Technological Advances on FWA 15:20 The Role of Regional Operators in FWA 17:59 Bridging the Digital Divide with FWA 21:56 Comparing FWA with Satellite Internet 26:12 Future Developments in FWA 27:27 Conclusion and Contact Information
