This week on TeleGeography Explains the Internet, we welcome SmartCIC CEO Toby Forman to the show.

Toby comes to us with a global perspective on the development of fixed wireless access (FWA) and its potential as a disruptive technology in the enterprise connectivity space. 

After nailing down a solid definition of FWA in the market today, we run through the factors to consider when deploying FWA. Toby explains what Cellsmart—a division of SmartCIC focused on FWA—does for service providers and enterprises interested in going through this process.

Next, Toby offers some real-world use cases and shares how he sees the fixed wireless and wireless markets developing over the next few years, briefly delving into the broader implications of broadband access for economic development around the world.

This episode should leave you with not only a deeper understanding of the development of FWA, but also the ability to evaluate and plan for what is coming next.
