Looking Back: How 60 GHz Fixed Wireless Access Redefined the Connectivity Landscape—And What Comes Next

If 2024 was the year the world finally recognized the limits of older connectivity models, 2025 was the year organizations began actively seeking alternatives. Demand for fast, low-latency, always-available connections continued to rise, powered by AI-driven applications, hybrid work, immersive media, and growing expectations for seamless digital experiences. As this demand increased, traditional Wi-Fi systems – built mostly around shared, congestion-prone spectrum – struggled to keep up.

In dense urban areas, apartments, campuses, stadiums, and public spaces, familiar challenges grew: congested spectrum, slower peak-time speeds, and spotty performance as more devices appeared. Extending fiber remained costly and hard due to construction, permits, or barriers.


In this environment, 60 GHz fixed wireless access (FWA) has emerged as a strategic solution to the shortcomings of legacy connectivity models. Its ability to deliver multi-gigabit speeds utilizing highly directive beamforming with minimal interference directly addresses challenges that traditional systems could not overcome. Furthermore, the 60 GHz band is unlicensed in most countries and enables smaller service providers to deploy infrastructure with minimal capital investment. This shift marked the beginning of a broader transformation in how high-capacity connectivity is planned and deployed.
