Access to fast, reliable broadband remains one of the biggest challenges in rural and underserved areas.

EOLO, Italy’s leading Fixed Wireless Access provider and a certified B-Corp, has made it their mission to bridge the digital divide. Together with 6WIND and Mavenir, EOLO is building Europe’s first 5G Standalone mmWave Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) network, a world-first architecture that combines distributed edge UPFs, white-box routers, and software-defined innovation to deliver fiber-like speeds where laying fiber is not economically viable.

In this fireside chat, Guillaume from 6WIND will sit down with Francesco Alberti, Head of Network Engineering at EOLO, to discuss EOLO’s vision, the unique technical approach behind their network, and how 6WIND’s Virtual Service Router (VSR) plays a key role in making this mission a reality.
