Increasing the connectivity federal agencies have at satellite and remote offices has been a priority for many years. However, the last three years have really accentuated the importance of driving a connection between work spaces. One solution that's gaining traction is Fixed Wireless Access (FWA).

Federal agencies, including the FBI, have already set their eyes on FWA and the capabilities it will support. With funds from the Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) program, the FBI allocated more than $400 million to improve network availability through the use of 4G LTE and 5G FWA. As other agencies discover the benefits of FWA, they are following suit.

These were the key themes of the recent Government Technology Insider “Driving Connection in the Era of Remote Work: Fixed Wireless Access Enables Agencies to Link Satellite and Remote Offices” podcast, where Rose Mata, Associate Director, Federal Mobility Solutions at Verizon; and Dave Butta, Managing Partner, Federal Government Sales at Verizon, discuss the benefits of FWA for linking satellite and remote offices.
