"We welcome service providers to experience the power of Veea's STAX@Work solution in Barcelona this week," said Allen Salmasi, Chairman and CEO of Veea. "The value proposition to service providers is clear: retain and grow existing business customers and attract new business customers with the most advanced 5G broadband access solution today that offers applications over an extensive mesh network. The apps developed to date, for our groundbreaking Wi-Fi 6 mesh router with an integrated Linux server, will only grow as developers take advantage of Veea Developer Portal and the comprehensive set of tools made available for rapid app development. ARPU will notably increase as customers enjoy the speed and reliability of the 5G broadband access and overtime subscribe to a variety of apps offered through the platform. Service providers can 'land and expand' and disrupt their competitors with a distributed edge-cloud architecture which drives enormous operational efficiencies, thus impacting the top and bottom lines."
The shift to high-end work-from-home solutions is part of the massive 5G Fixed-Wireless Access Market (FWAM) which is, according to several industry analyst firms, disrupting the broadband market. For example, Analysys Mason forecasts that by 2023, 290 million addressable premises world-wide (12% of total) will drive demand.
Market and Markets predicts that by 2026 FWAM will grow to an $86 billion annual market; assuming an average $35 Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR), approximately 206 million premises will benefit from a blend of fixed and mobile services.
