New Study
Finds WiMAX will Horn In on 3G Data Market
SAN
FRANCISCO, CA, December 7, 2004 – WiMAX and other new high-speed wireless technologies will capture more
than 40 percent of the Wireless Broadband, leaving 3G with less than 60 percent
of the market in 2009. These new technologies provide significant opportunities
for incumbent and competitive carriers, according to TelecomView’s new report Wireless
Broadband: Will it Replace 3G and Fixed Broadband. This report analyzes
the market for Wireless Broadband through 2009 with an emphasis on how the
increased performance of new technologies such as WiMAX and TD-CDMA (UMTS-TDD)
will affect the market for 3G data services.
“Our forecasts
show that WiMAX will be the clear winner amongst the new high-speed wireless
technologies", stated Ian Cox, Principal Analyst at TelecomView and
coauthor of this report. “WiMAX will pick up 70 percent of this new market
segment by 2009 due to its higher performance and flexibility compared to the
alternatives. 3G will be important for its mobility, but WiMAX will directly
compete with DSL.”
TelecomView’s
report discusses WiMAX, TD-CDMA, 3G, and other Wireless Broadband technologies.
It covers current deployments, regulatory issues, and the business case for
these new technologies for both urban and rural deployments. The report
includes a forecast segmented into eight regions globally that provides a fine
grained view of the market.
“Our business
case show that the ROI for these new Wireless Broadband technologies is
significantly better than for 3G”, stated Bob Larribeau, Principal Analyst at
TelecomView and coauthor of this report. “In fact, the business case for WiMAX,
in particular, is close to that for wireline DSL, which makes it an excellent broadband
technology alternative.
