With demand for affordable and high-speed internet access accelerating, Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) are stepping up to bridge the digital divide. But to scale sustainable, infrastructure partnerships are key. This panel explores how WISPs and towercos can align to deploy Fixed-Wireless Access (FWA) at scale, the differences and similarities between working with WISPs compared to MNOs, and the opportunities for towercos to generate additional revenues through FWA hosting. 

• What’s driving demand for Fixed-Wireless Access in Africa? 

• How tower hosting is becoming an increasingly relevant hosting option for WISPs 

• From power requirements and antenna placement to coverage expectations; what do towercos need to know about WISP deployments? 

• How do towercos need to adapt their commercial models to accommodate WISP realities? 

• Is there a towerco-ISP convergence on the horizon to deliver last-mile connectivity and services?
