FBB: A Growing Business in Africa

Africa’s digital transformation is accelerating, and Fixed Broadband (FBB) is emerging as a critical driver of economic growth, innovation, and connectivity. While Mobile Broadband (MBB) has dominated the continent for years, the demand for high-speed, reliable FBB is rising and creating new opportunities for businesses, investors, and entrepreneurs.
Key trends shaping the FBB landscape include but are not limited to:
1. 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) – Complementing fiber in hard-to-reach regions, especially rural areas (already in motion).
2. Smart Home & Business Solutions – Driving demand for security, automation, and cloud services.
3. Renewable Energy-Powered Networks – Reducing operational costs in off-grid areas.
Why This Matters
Today, FBB is no longer a luxury but a necessity for a digital future.
