Italian telecom operator FastWeb is geared up to commercially launch its 5G fixed wireless access service in 50 cities in Italy by year’s end, with customer premises equipment using Qualcomm’s X55 platform.
The companies have been working together over the last two years to prep FastWeb’s mmWave 5G FWA service. An initial rollout in the first three localities happened earlier this week, and plans call for expansion into 500 cities in 2021.
By 2024 FastWeb expects to deliver 5G mmWave broadband to 12 million homes, or 45% of Italy’s population, with speeds of up to 1 Gbps.
