Fixed wireless access lets service providers connect businesses without waiting for fiber, serve temporary sites and offer an alternative primary or backup link. Turning it into a managed service depends on more than radio speed, since indoor coverage, installation costs, activation and ongoing performance all matter. Ekinops combines OneOS6 routers with integrated 4G/5G radio or an MRU-5G managed remote unit placed where coverage is strongest. Both options share the same configuration and supervision framework, so providers can scale deployments without rebuilding their operational processes.
Managed FWA over 5G helps service providers turn mobile coverage into a primary business access service.
“The jointly developed 5G solution marks a major step forward in our mission to deliver seamless, high‑performance connectivity to every enterprise site. It allows us to overcome structural barriers, accelerate service delivery, and ensure reliable broadband where fixed access alone cannot deliver. This is a game changer for businesses that depend on always‑on connectivity.”
Managed FWA over 5G suits sites where fiber is unavailable, delayed or too costly to deploy, as well as temporary locations and events. With 5G spectrum and gigabit-class throughput, it can be positioned as a primary business access service rather than only a backup link.
Ekinops offers OneOS6 routers with integrated 4G/5G radio, and the MRU-5G managed remote unit positioned where coverage is strongest. Both options use the same configuration and supervision framework, helping service providers scale deployment without rebuilding their operational processes.
The MRU-5G moves the radio itself to the point of good coverage, instead of extending the antenna with lossy RF cables. A standard Ethernet cable of up to 100 m carries data, power and management back to the router, so the throughput measured at the coverage point is the throughput delivered to the LAN.
The MRU-5G is managed from OneOS6 like an internal 4G/5G module, using the same CLI, NETCONF/YANG, SNMP and CWMP processes through the router. Operators can monitor signal levels, band and carrier aggregation, serving cell, temperature trends, logs and firmware status without adding a separate cloud platform or management system.
Each device relies on signed firmware, secure boot and certificate-secured management. Fail-safe upgrades, watchdog mechanisms, PoE monitoring and dying gasp help maintain service integrity and simplify outage analysis.
