"4G / 5G Fixed Wireless Access : Great Opportunity, Growing Threat"

Available Now

It's no secret that a rapidly-growing proportion of broadband Internet connections are being delivered using 4G and 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) technology. FWA is growing fast EVERYWHERE, with 330 million connections forecast globally by the end of 2029. FWA services represent a huge opportunity for mobile operators to grow revenue, as they deliver connectivity to fixed home and office infrastructure for both work and play, but these services bring with them new risks.

Wireline ISPs have long managed threats from their subscribers, such as DDoS related to gaming or compromised IoT; with FWA, mobile operators open themselves up to these same threats, with additional network complexity and cost thrown in for good measure.

Attend this webinar to understand:

• The challenges in obtaining scalable, real-time visibility and threat detection within mobile networks
• The nature of the threats being seen around the world within FWA services, how they are evolving and how to stop them
