Ovum forecasts that the number of fixed broadband subscriptions in Sub-Saharan Africa will increase from 6.6 million in 2018 to 17 million in 2023. LTE will remain the dominant technology over the next five years and will record the fastest growth rate between 2018 and 2023 alongside FTTx.
There were 4 million “fixed wireless” subscriptions in the region in 3Q18, representing 62 percent of the region's fixed broadband usage, according to Ovum.
Ovum’s forecast assumes there is great opportunity to add point-to-point fixed access from 4G cell towers that often have only about 30 percent loading.
Ovum therefore estimates that in future there will be an addressable market of around 142 million households for fixed wireless in the Sub-Saharan Africa region.
