TRENDING
Discussing some of the trends in the wireless
internet service provider (WISP) market and
how the company is gearing up for the 5G
era, Andrey Koynov, CTO at InfiNet Wireless:
said: “5G will trigger a transformation in the
market with connections speeds expected
to reach 100Mbps and latency expected to
drop to 4ms.
“That being said, fixed 5G does pose
several challenges, specifically around
the range of coverage. As a consequence,
WISPs are going to have to redesign their
backhaul network and make a significant
investment in infrastructure. At InfiNet, we
are responding to these market trends by
building a brand-new portfolio of products
and technologies, like Quanta 5, that will
enable WISPs to thrive in the 5G era.”

Quanta 5 has been designed as an all-in-
one package to enable operators of all sizes
to quickly deliver high-capacity premium
