Pivotal Commware Promotes FWA Without Limits at 2024 Mobile World Congress Barcelona

Pivotal Commware, global leader in 5G mmWave infrastructure products for the wireless edge, will promote its key role in the expansion of mmWave, "FWA Without Limits," at the 2024 Mobile World Congress Barcelona on February 27 and 28.

The success of FWA Without Limits relies in part on improvements to Pivotal's product and service ecosystem as supported by deployment experience. These improvements include:

• More power from the next generation Pivot 5G repeater, which addresses mmWave coverage challenges by capturing and redirecting mmWave signals from the base station around obstacles like buildings.
• Greater accuracy and service qualification confidence from cloud based WaveScape, which, using AI, can now optimize the placement of Pivot 5Gs to serve MDU buildings and single-family homes in a five-kilometer area.
• Improved address qualification from cloud based IBMS, which allows carriers to manage and optimize their Pivot networks down to the antenna for greater speed and control.
• Commercial launch lessons learned from Pivotal's end-to-end Turnkey Deployment Services, such as:
  • The true variability of low-E glass and the accuracy of visual line-of-sight - leading to the creation of Pivotal's RF measurement tool, Cyclops™.
  • Creating direct relationships with asset owners to lower rent.
  • Meeting or exceeding SLA targets at a cost per household passed well below wireline.

"FWA uptake at midband is a leading indicator of offload priority to mmWave. We call it the FWA one-two punch, which allows carriers to continue growing FWA net adds quarter over quarter without sacrificing valuable midband spectrum," said Brian Deutsch, CEO of Pivotal Commware.

FWA Without Limits also means superior economics by using repeaters to expand coverage from existing infrastructure as demand requires, and in less time and cost than by installing fiber-connected small cells or fiber itself.

According to Christal Griffin, Pivotal's VP of Turnkey Deployment, "Pivotal is designing, leasing, permitting, and deploying mmWave networks about 25% faster than a year ago, while increasing the number of poles deployed per month by 300%!"
