FWA Advantages for the Construction Vertical

Challenge: Temporary Construction Sites

Construction sites require a flexible connectivity solution that can be easily set up then later moved to the next location.

Solution: Mobility and Flexibility

FWA allows for easy setup and relocation from one site to another, without the need for extensive cabling and infrastructure. This type of connectivity solution can also be deployed quickly to provide immediate internet access at new sites, making it ideal for the construction vertical.

Challenge: Harsh Outdoor Conditions

Construction sites frequently expose equipment to harsh conditions with vibrations, extreme temperatures, and high levels of dust and moisture. These environmental factors challenge the durability of networking equipment.

Solution: Ruggedized Networking Equipment

FrontierUS offers 5G FWA connectivity solutions that can withstand the harsh conditions of construction sites and ensure reliable performance in any environment.

Challenge: Increasing Bandwidth Demands

Construction projects increasingly rely on digital tools, from cloud-based project managment software to video conferencing platforms. These applications require high bandwidth, which can be challenging to reliably provide on remote sites. As projects progress, the size of the workforce may fluctuate, requiring connectivity solutions to be both flexible and easily scalable.

Solution: High Bandwidth and Easy Scalability with FWA

5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) can provide high bandwidth in in areas where wired connections are unavailable or prohibitively expensive. They can also be easily scaled to accommodate more users as needed, as is often the case for deployments in the construction vertical.

Challenge: On Site Security Requires Robust 24/7 Connectivity

Construction sites contain expensive machinery and materials, so security is a top priority. However, surveillance equipment and IP security cameras require reliable, high-speed connectivity, which is often difficult to achieve at remote sites.

Solution: FWA with Failover

FWA can support IP cameras for surveillance and IoT devices for monitoring construction equipment and worker safety. Leveraging Peplink SpeedFusion technology makes it possible to bond together multiple connections and seamlessly fail over to backup connections when a primary connection goes down. These capabilities can ensure that security cameras and IoT devices stay online 24/7.
