Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) case study
Zero failed FWA installs in Texas.
See how Element8, an FWA provider, used Federated Wireless’ ANP to eliminate failed installs in the Texas 5.8 GHz band in just five weeks, while raising overall install success from 79.5% to 90%+.
- 0% failures in Texas
- 90%+ install success
- 50%+ fewer failed installs
Results from 276 FWA sites across Texas and Oklahoma.
FWA install failures in Texas in five weeks
Install success up from 79.5% before ANP
Lower failure rate of FWA installs in five weeks
INSIDE THE CASE STUDY
What you’ll learn
Trees, terrain and buildings don’t show up on a coverage map, but they do show up on FWA install day. Element8 used ANP’s Physical AI to check each address before dispatch, so every installation started with a clear answer instead of a guess. Every failed install is a wasted truck roll that adds to the cost of acquiring each FWA customer (CAC). In Texas, install failures in the 5.8 GHz band fell to 0%. Across 276 FWA sites in Texas and Oklahoma, failed installs dropped by more than half.

CAPABILITY HIGHLIGHTS
Propagation studies “in seconds rather than hours”
Substantiate receiver-side performance for “up to 10,000 broadband service locations” at once
Line-of-sight analysis “for up to 100 locations at once”
ANP gives our field technicians a clear installation plan before dispatch and our customers an answer we can stand behind.
