5G FWA devices are designed for homes or offices to provide 5G connectivity to computers, smartphones, and smart home devices.
These devices often feature built-in Wi-Fi and LAN ports. Some include integrated support as a backup for older network standards like 4G LTE.
The 5G FWA aims to ensure a strong and stable 5G signal inside buildings where the signal commonly degrades due to walls and other structures. Solutions often involve using advanced antennas and sometimes external antennas that can be mounted on windows or outer walls.
5G Outdoor Units (ODUs) are typically installed on rooftops or high exterior walls to optimize signal reception. Designed for durability, these devices can withstand harsh environmental conditions such as rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.
The primary advantage of 5G ODUs is their ability to capture 5G signals with minimal physical obstructions, significantly enhancing connection quality and speed compared to indoor devices. However, installing 5G ODUs can be complex and may require professional assistance to securely mount the device and route cables indoors for connectivity.
