FWA startup Kwikbit goes where fiber won't—or can't
People usually think of fixed wireless access (FWA) as another way to connect sparse rural areas. Startup Kwikbit however is geared towards a different, yet still very much underserved, market—manufactured home communities (MHCs). The idea to connect MHCs didn’t happen right off the bat. Kwikbit first eyed deploying fixed wireless to the usual rural markets as well as urban areas where “there’s tons of fiber but it doesn’t go to people’s houses.” However, it anticipated major permitting headaches—a problem many operators are familiar with.
