Broadband Forum’s Wireline-Wireless Convergence work area has published the TR 507 architecture specification for 5G mmWave FWA extension. Its multi-tenant 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) solution for multi-dwelling units (MDUs) was awarded “FWA Solution of the Year” at the Network X Awards 2025 in Paris. InCoax technology plays a key role in the solution by distributing the shared 5G connection over existing in-building coaxial networks using MoCA Access technology.

The recognition highlights an industry-first architecture that allows apartments in an MDU to share a single 5G mmWave connection, while using the property’s coaxial cabling to provide reliable, high capacity broadband service to each dwelling. The approach delivers rapid installation, minimal disruption for residents and owners, and attractive economics for service providers. The same architecture can be deployed quickly as an alternative when middle-mile fiber is delayed or unavailable, and later fed by fiber using the unchanged in-building solution.

At the BBF booth at Network X, Nokia, InCoax and Incognito are demonstrating multi-gigabit speeds over a 5G mmWave mobile link. The excellence of this architecture lies in its ability to reuse existing functions in the 5G and fixed wireline networks, eliminating the need for new protocol or feature
development.

“Multi-tenant FWA is a pragmatic way to deliver gigabit broadband to existing MDUs without rewiring,” said Helge Tiainen, Business Development Director at InCoax. “By using the coax that’s already in place, our MoCA Access platform lets operators extend both fiber access and FWA with carrier-grade performance and shorter time to revenue.”
