Vantiva Unveils New Hawk 5G FWA Home Gateway,
designed for 5G SA
BARCELONA, March 2, 2026 – Vantiva (Euronext Paris: VANTI), a global technology leader in connected home solutions, today announces the launch of Hawk 5G, its latest Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), showcased at Mobile World Congress 2026.
Designed as a next-generation evolution of the award-winning Condor 5G indoor CPE, Hawk 5G leverages the same high performance and adds broader 5G Standalone (SA) processing capabilities. Most operators are transitioning their networks from NSA (Non-Standalone) to SA (Standalone) to deliver the promises of 5G in full. Hawk 5G also adds compatibility with
Wi-Fi 8.
Powerful Design Built for Deployment at Scale
Hawk 5G leverages Vantiva’s global experience with Tier 1 and Tier 2 Network Service Providers (NSPs) and supports their preferred middleware: Homeware™/OpenWRT, prplOS, and RDK-B. It complies with the latest 3GPP Release 18 network specifications. Hawk 5G is available in America, EMEA, and Australia.
“With Hawk 5G, we are extending the deployment reach of the FWA service and improving service providers’ cell coverage with increased spectrum efficiency,” said Ashwani Saigal, Senior Vice President, Global Product Management at Vantiva. “As demand for high-performance broadband grows, we’re helping them meet those expectations with scalable, intelligent, and future-ready solutions.”
Key Innovations Driving Performance for 5G SA
- Near-window form factor: Designed to blend into any home environment, Hawk 5G offers a slim footprint to sit discreetly on a windowsill, where 5G signal quality is optimal. Tests demonstrate that Hawk 5G can replace outdoor units in many instances with lower installation burden.
- Third-generation Indoor5G™ 8Rx antenna system: Developed by Vantiva’s antenna team in France, the system includes patented mid-band boosters (2.5–4.2 GHz) that provide up to 13 dBi combined gain and 85% efficiency. It intelligently improves spectrum usage, expands base station reach, and supports high-density user environments. The use of 8 receive antennas is spread to more bands and SA aggregation scenarios.
- Power Class 1.0: Hawk 5G FWA CPE supports the newly standardized power class. With higher transmit power at the CPE, the signal received at the base-station (gNB) has a better signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), resulting in enhanced uplink performance. PC1 also improves spectral and network efficiency and reduces uplink re-transmissions. The CPE maintains a connection with the base station (gNB) at greater distances, effectively extending the cell radius and reducing dead zones at the cell edge.
- Turnkey eSIM solutions: Hawk 5G supports both eSIM and physical SIM formats, providing operators with deployment agility. A pioneer in eUICC for CPEs, Vantiva delivers eSIM solutions tailored to Operators’ backends and processes.
Additionally, Hawk 5G is fully integrated with Vantiva’s Navigate Companion™ App, allowing end users and operators to manage installation, performance, and Wi-Fi settings with ease. The Navigate Companion™ App is available on all major app stores. Furthermore, Hawk 5G integrates with the Navigate FWA Dashboard, built on Vantiva’s CloudCore software, to help operators support end users and ensure an optimal experience.
Hawk 5G launch is a new milestone in Vantiva’s continued collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
“We are excited to see Qualcomm Dragonwing™ FWA Gen 5 Elite Platform designed with Vantiva’s Indoor5G™ 8Rx antenna technology, Power Class 1 uplink enhancements,” said Anand Venkataraman, Senior Director, Product Management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “This product will enable operators to dramatically grow their FWA service footprint, connecting new homes with 5G”.
