The datacentre provides
onward connectivity from
the Internet Service
Providers (ISPs) and Mobile
Network Operators (MNOs).
It’s the home of the data
aggregation and server
storage location.

Using fibre optic cables, the signal
travels underground from the
datacentre to our network of local
street cabinets fitted with the
required equipment. Then it
moves, high-speed to the 5G New
Radio Unit (NRU).
2
5G NRUs are expected to be small enough to
fit snuggly and discretely on virtually any
structure, meaning rapid roll out and low
operating costs. Typically, you’ll see them on
our existing infrastructure including municipal
street furniture in 12 London Boroughs.*
*Arqiva has exclusive licenses to use municipal street furniture in 12 London
Boroughs; and other UK cities including Manchester and Southampton

The superfast signal is beamed directly to your
premises via an easy to install 5G Customer
Premises Equipment (CPE). Minimal disruption and
superfast connectivity for all your devices. Current
UK average speeds are 36Mbps* but 5G FWA has
the potential to offer in excess of 1Gpbs.

Whether you’re streaming the latest
blockbuster, online gaming, or video
calling, 5G FWA delivers 30 to 50 times
faster speeds than 4G and offers low
latency/real-time downloads. Set-up is
expected to be simple and requires
minimal time.

Using existing cable
infrastructure, the signal
travels underground
from the datacentre to
your local mast and the
5G FWA New Radio
Unit (NRU).
2
Fitting discreetly on any of our
16,000 existing masts, the 5G
NRU uses line of sight to beam
superfast broadband to homes
and businesses.

For rural areas with little or no
connectivity, 5G FWA is a
lightning quick alternative –
connecting homes, business
and communities to
ultra-high-speed connectivity.
4
With access to ultra-high-speed
internet, the UK’s digital economy
could benefit from the IoT
revolution. For example, farming
businesses could embrace the
agricultural Internet of Things
(IoT) - managing and securing
stock, protecting premises and
much more…
