Gigabit Wireless Broadband: How 1Gbps FWA compares to Fibre
As demand for faster, more reliable broadband grows, full fibre has long been seen as the ultimate solution. But a new generation of gigabit Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) is changing the conversation.
At Airband, we are delivering up to 1Gbps broadband speeds using advanced wireless technology, helping homes and businesses access high speed connectivity without waiting for fibre rollout.
What is Gigabit FWA Broadband?
Gigabit Fixed Wireless Access is a high performance broadband technology that delivers internet connectivity from a local mast directly to your property using radio signals.
Unlike fibre, which requires physical cables to be installed underground, FWA connects you wirelessly using a small receiver installed at your home or business.
FWA vs Fibre: What is the Difference
Full Fibre Broadband:
- Uses fibre optic cables
- Offers symmetrical speeds and very low latency
Gigabit FWA Broadband:
- Uses wireless signals from a nearby mast
- No need for digging or cabling
Benefits of Gigabit FWA Broadband
- Fast installation
- No disruption
- Gigabit capable speeds
- Ideal for rural areas
- Flexible and scalable
- No phone line needed
Is Gigabit FWA right for you?
With speeds of up to 1Gbps, fast installation and expanding coverage, FWA is helping close the digital divide and bring high speed broadband to more people, sooner.
If fibre isn’t currently available in your area – or installation delays are holding you back – FWA provides a practical alternative, delivering high-speed connectivity capable of supporting streaming, remote working, and multiple devices.
