Prospecta Utilities, an Australian infrastructure company, partnered with Airspan to bring highspeed internet connectivity to multi-residential and retirement communities through a 5G mmWave Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) network. The collaboration aimed to transform digital infrastructure by providing fast, reliable broadband that can deliver triple-play services (data, voice, and video). The deployment will benefit communities across Australia, especially in locations where fiber installation is costly or delayed, offering a true alternative to fiber-based solutions.
Expensive fiber deployment
Laying fiber infrastructure proved to be both costly and time-consuming, especially in suburban and rural areas.
Demand for high bandwidth
As residents increasingly required high-speed internet for video streaming, video-on-demand, and telehealth services, existing solutions were unable to meet the growing demand.
Limited infrastructure
The aging telco infrastructure in some areas restricted the ability to offer competitive services, leading to higher fixed fees paid to incumbent service providers.
Fiber-like Speeds
Airspan’s 5G mmWave FWA delivers Gbps-level speeds, comparable to fiber, ensuring residents have seamless access to high-speed internet.
Cost-effective Deployment
The solution eliminates the need for extensive fiber rollouts, drastically reducing deployment costs and offering rapid installation.
Sustainability
With lower power consumption and a compact footprint, Airspan’s technology aligns with Prospecta’s commitment to sustainable infrastructure.
Triple-play Services
The solution provides residents with high-speed data, voice, and video- on-demand services, elevating their quality of life and enabling connectivity for modern digital services.
