Spirent Communications Unveils New 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) Testing Services

Spirent Communications, a leading provider of test and assurance solutions for next-generation devices and networks, has announced the launch of its 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) testing services. These solutions are designed to offer comprehensive lab-based 5G/Wi-Fi gateway testing and live network competitive benchmarking, enabling communications service providers (CSPs) and device manufacturers to optimize quality of experience (QoE) and stand out in a competitive market.

With the rapid acceleration of 5G FWA adoption, there is a growing need for thorough network performance evaluations. Over 200 CSPs have already introduced home services, while 20 CSPs have launched 5G FWA business offerings. Spirent’s new 5G FWA services address this demand by providing advanced testing solutions that deliver key insights into user experience, allowing operators to enhance customer satisfaction and drive revenue growth.

“5G FWA represents a significant opportunity for CSPs to expand their revenue streams,” said Stephen Douglas, Head of Market Strategy at Spirent. “Maximizing its potential requires prioritizing user experience testing, which is exactly what our new solutions deliver. These services can also help save providers, device manufacturers, and network vendors millions in troubleshooting costs by identifying issues earlier in the development process.”

Spirent’s 5G FWA solutions leverage the company’s proven methodologies and global cloud-based measurement systems to help service providers and vendors optimize services for superior QoE. They also offer confidential and reliable competitive benchmarking to validate performance claims. These new services are part of Spirent’s ongoing efforts to help customers swiftly launch, optimize, and monetize 5G networks.

Spirent’s 5G FWA services offer insights through detailed testing across various user scenarios, including:

• General data and web browsing
• VoWiFi (Voice over Wi-Fi)
• Video streaming QoE
• Cloud gaming QoE
• RF environment characterization

By conducting these tests, CSPs gain a deeper understanding of their FWA service performance in comparison to others in the market. Spirent’s tailored benchmark testing provides real-world data to highlight areas for optimization, helping CSPs enhance customer satisfaction, improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and optimize their infrastructure to better serve users during peak and off-peak times.
