## Resource

Episode 96 of Networking Tech with Fexingo explores how fixed wireless access (FWA) is bridging the digital divide. Lucas and Luna break down the technology behind millimeter-wave spectrum, beamforming, and the economics of deploying WISPs in rural and suburban areas. They discuss real-world case studies from companies like Starry and Common Networks, and explain why FWA is becoming a viable alternative to fiber, especially in regions where trenching fiber is cost-prohibitive. The episode also covers challenges like line-of-sight, spectrum licensing, and the impact of CBRS on small ISP operations. If you've ever wondered how your internet gets to you without wires, this episode gives you the concrete details. #FixedWirelessAccess #WISP #MillimeterWave #Beamforming #Starry #CommonNetworks #CBRS #RuralBroadband #DigitalDivide #LastMileConnectivity #SpectrumLicensing #5G #NetworkInfrastructure #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechPodcast #NetworkingTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
