WWW. WISPA .ORG 2 3 www.bekabusinessmedia.com DAY 2 A DTRAN, a leading provider of innova- tive business and residential connec- tivity solutions, announced the ADTRAN 7310-08 LoRaWAN IoT Gateway is now an AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN qualified gateway and is currently listed in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Device Catalog. This certifica- tion demonstrates ADTRAN’s commitment to the IoT market and allows this indoor LoRaWAN IoT gateway to connect to the AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN, making it part of a larger IoT ecosystem and affording AWS partners improved operational efficiency. AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN is a fully managed feature that enables end users to connect wireless devices that use low-power, long-range wide area network (LoRaWAN) protocol with AWS. Using AWS IoT Core, end users can now setup a private LoRaWAN network by connecting their own LoRaWAN devices and gateways to AWS without developing or operating a LoRaWAN Network Server (LNS). The ADTRAN 7310-08 LoRaWAN IoT Gateway is perfect for enterprises, small busi- ness and industrial smart building IoT applica- tions. This business-class indoor 8-channel gateway is micro-sized for inconspicuous mounting options and can be powered by PoE, eliminating the need for installing a power outlet. The 7310-08 is configured via an Apple iOS- based Bluetooth app, eliminating the need for a wired connection and perfect for managing when already in a mounted position. “ADTRAN continues to expand our IoT ecosystem, adding new products, partners and distribution options. Our AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN qualification makes it significantly easier for end users to get their IoT network deployments started and confirms the strength of our IoT portfolio,” said Keith Atwell, head of global business development at ADTRAN. “Connecting our LoRaWAN IoT gateway to AWS IoT Core increases operational efficiencies for our partners. This IoT community provides a one-stop shop for value-added resellers, communication service providers, MSOs and IoT network providers.” m Visit ADTRAN at WISPAPALOOZA 2021 booth #623 or go to adtran.com/IoT-Gateways.

WISPA .ORG 1 www.bekabusinessmedia.c om A s WISPAPALOOZA roars back to life and reconvenes the industry here in Las Vegas, a new report has been released predicting “significant growth” of fixed wireless access (FWA) connections through 2026. Already in 2020, driven in part by lock- downs and the shift toward remote working and learning, FWA services grew almost 20 percent year-over-year to more than 80 million global subscribers, according to researchers at Mobile Experts. “Due to COVID restrictions over the past year, many people have found themselves in need of a reliable connection from home — no matter where home is. FWA offers a much- needed substitute for addressing broadband need in underserved rural and suburban markets where other solutions are too cost-prohibitive or take too long to deploy,” said Mobile Experts prin- cipal analyst Kyung Mun. “The ability to connect virtually is more critical than ever, and FWA will continue to be an innovative solution for unreached areas.” Moving forward, Mobile Experts sees that number rocketing to almost 200 million by 2026, representing a whopping compound annual growth rate of around 70 percent. A separate report, meanwhile, from ABI Research also predicts compound annual growth rates of around 70 percent for FWA during the next five years. And Mobile Experts expects 8 to 11 percent of FWA connections will be served via proprietary technology primarily deployed by small operators. 5G fixed wireless access will serve 66.5 million customers by 2026, Mobile Experts predicts. ABI, for its part, predicts global 5G fixed FWA Expected to Continue Strong Growth Post-COVID (Continued on page 4) L Z OO 2021 IT MIGHT NOT BE TOO LATE Email your product release and/or submissions to martin@bekabusinessmedia.com WWW.
