The Zero Trust Framework is a model that shifts defenses from network perimeters to users, assets, and resources. It emphasizes verifying all entities before allowing network communication. Fixed Wireless Access is a technology that enables us to place the edge of our network anywhere that we need to do business. This presentation outlines how zero trust works, its importance, and how to build a zero trust infrastructure that allows us to build out our networks quickly, reliably, and securely.

Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) is a broadband technology that provides last-mile connectivity using wireless transmission between fixed points. Unlike traditional terrestrial or mobile wireless solutions. FWA offers High-Speed, reliable Internet connectivity, rapid deployment, and quick tear down, and is a flexible yet cost-effective alternative or augmentation to existing fiber or cable connections. Ensuring that these new connections still meet or exceed existing network requirements is key successful adoption of the technology.
