Ep 66 - Fixed Wireless Access: A Podcast Primer for the Public Sector

Author: Government Technology Insider December 9, 2023 Duration: 13:31

The past 18 months have been characterized by being remote. Even as our schools, colleges, and workplaces have started to open up, the flexibility of being able to work or learn remotely has remained a valued part of the new normal.

As public sector organizations – including federal, state, and local governments, as well K-12 schools, community colleges, and universities – look to support this hybrid culture, their communications infrastructure needs to evolve to meet the demands of work and learning spaces of the future.

This is where fixed wireless access (FWA) comes into play, and it’s a wireless broadband product that offers similar speeds and capacity that can be a replacement for wired networks. It can offer ease-of-use and consistency for quickly deploying devices for providing more flexibility for enabling remote work environments.

These were the key insights of this Government Technology Insider podcast, on fixed wireless access where Anthony Battista, Managing Director for Solutions Architecture for State, Local and Education Segments at Verizon; and Bryan Schromsky, Managing Partner of 5G Public Sector at Verizon, also discussed ideal public sector uses cases for FWA, and much more.


Ever wonder what really happens when a new software platform gets rolled out across a state agency, or how a city decides which cloud provider to trust with its data? The Government Technology Insider Podcast pulls back the curtain on those exact processes. This isn't about theoretical futures; it's a grounded look at the actual work of modernizing public sector systems. Each conversation goes straight to the source, featuring the people who are navigating procurement, implementing security protocols, and managing the day-to-day realities of tech adoption within government frameworks. You'll hear firsthand accounts about the strategic choices that succeed, the unexpected hurdles that arise, and the practical solutions that make a difference. The discussions are candid and detailed, focusing less on hype and more on the tangible lessons learned from recent projects and initiatives. For anyone curious about the real intersection of civic duty and digital innovation, this podcast provides an essential, on-the-ground perspective. Tune in for a clear-eyed view of how technology is being woven into the fabric of government missions, one challenge and one victory at a time.
