5G traffic rises 3x in India due to fixed wireless access boom: Nokia

Fixed wireless access (FWA) or home broadband is driving the massive surge in 5G data traffic in India, Finnish telecom gear maker Nokia said on Thursday.

In its annual India Mobile Broadband Index report, Nokia said that 5G data traffic tripled in 2024, while 4G growth declined. The report also noted that data consumption of 5G FWA users is 12 times that of mobile data users.
