Find the right 5G FWA solution for your location
Getting 5G FWA right means matching the hardware to your coverage conditions, the SIM card to your usage profile, and the installation approach to your property. There is no single answer that suits every location.
We can help you work through the options. Use the guide below to self-assess your situation, or get in touch directly via our contact details at the bottom of this page.
Step 1: Check your coverage
Before looking at hardware, check 5G coverage at your address from each of the four UK operators:
Note which operators show 5G coverage and whether it is indoor or outdoor 5G. If only outdoor 5G is shown, an outdoor CPE or external antenna will be needed for reliable performance.
Step 2: Identify your use case
- Home broadband replacement or supplement – see our home guide
- Business primary or failover connection – see our business guide
- Rural property with no fibre option – see our rural guide
- Temporary site or event – any 5G router with a data SIM will work; contact us for temporary SIM options
Step 3: Choose your hardware and SIM
