Abstract
Telecommunication services generation popularity is so fast and plays a vital role in enabling
Reliable Communication. Furthermore, these services have also been instrumental
in accelerating digital transformations across various industries and sectors.
It’s amazing to see how technology has evolved over the years to make communication
faster, easier, and more efficient than ever before. In today’s fast-paced world,
it’s essential to have reliable and high-speed telecommunications services to stay connected
and get things done efficiently. With the increase in remote work and online
activities, the demand for high broadband speed and affordable telecom services has
become even more critical. Service providers need to keep up with this demand and
offer reliable and cost-effective solutions to their customers. Due to these trends, fixed
wireless broadband access(FWA) is one of the right solution services for businesses
that need high-speed internet connectivity at affordable prices. 5G Fixed Wireless Access
(FWA) networks have the potential to provide ultra-high-speed broadband at an
affordable price for suburban and rural areas, making them a potential competitor for
other technologies like FTTH and copper. The main purpose of this thesis is to conduct
a research investigation on the Techno-Economic Competitiveness of 5G FWA in
sub-urban areas, with a specific focus on Bishoftu Town as an example.
