InCoax uses existing coax to deliver shared 5G FWA to apartments

InCoax Networks AB has presented a solution that enables shared 5G mmWave Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) to reach individual apartments in multi-dwelling units by utilizing existing in-building coaxial infrastructure. The approach combines 5G FWA for high-capacity backhaul to the property with InCoax's platform for distributing that capacity throughout the building's internal coaxial network.

This model allows operators to accelerate broadband deployment in dense urban buildings without the need for extensive and costly rewiring. While 5G mmWave technology has promised high speeds, its practical application for last-mile connectivity, particularly in challenging urban environments, has faced hurdles.

InCoax's strategy effectively positions 5G FWA as a high-capacity connection to the property entrance. From there, the company's MoCA Access technology distributes the signal over the pre-existing coaxial cables, delivering high-speed internet directly to each apartment.

The solution aims to bridge the gap between the potential of 5G technology and the challenges of delivering reliable broadband to multi-dwelling units by leveraging existing infrastructure, potentially reducing deployment times and costs for network operators.
