Protecting An Investment in 5G Growth
Market penetration of Fixed Wireless Assets (FWA) has grown rapidly since its launch with the onset of 5G, reaching nearly 12 million subscribers at YE 20241. Predictions suggest continued momentum, with major carriers aiming to reach multi-million 5G broadband customers soon.
Because FWA depends on base nodes mounted atop cell towers, protecting them from lightning surge damage is paramount. To this end, Raycap worked with its partner, Tarana, one of the key technological players in the FWA space, to develop effective protection solutions for Tarana’s base node equipment, enabling regional and rural internet service providers (ISPs) to expand broadband coverage affordably.

“Market penetration of FWA has grown rapidly since its launch with the onset of 5G, reaching nearly 12 million subscribers at YE 2024. Based on public targets from the leading wireless carriers, the U.S. subscriber base could grow to over 20 million by 2028. This suggests FWA could reach mid-teen or higher market penetration of the U.S. broadband market over the next few years.”
