Study Says Fixed WiMAX Gaining a Strong Foothold
SAN
FRANCISCO, CA, June 19 7, 2006 – WiMAX has already established itself as a
viable technology for providing broadband data services. It is being used to
bring broadband to developing countries, to compete with fixed broadband
services, and to extend broadband to rural areas. TelecomView’s new report Broadband Strategies for the Fixed Market
identifies 75 Broadband Wireless deployments.
“We forecast
that fixed WiMAX networks will have 88 million subscribers and account for $43
billion in system spending by 2011.” stated Ian Cox, Principal Analyst at
TelecomView and coauthor of this report. “We found that better than 60 percent
of these subscribers will be in developing countries.”
“Our business
cases show that WiMAX will be competitive with fixed DSL services where copper
loops are in place”, stated Bob Larribeau, Principal Analyst at TelecomView and
coauthor of this report. “However, WiMAX is the only choice where copper is not
available.”
The report also
looks at the potential for converged fixed and mobile WiMAX services. It finds
that up to a quarter of the subscribers in this forecast will be using a
converged service that combines fixed and mobile WiMAX by 2011.
This report is
available for $2,495 and identifies the strategies of major wireless carriers
and systems companies. It covers new fixed WiMAX deployments, discusses
regulatory issues, and the business case for both business and consumer
applications. The forecast is segmented into four regions globally and includes
data for the main developed and developing countries.
This is the
second in a series of reports from TelecomView on the broadband wireless market
and follows the first called Broadband Strategies for
the Mobile Market.
TelecomView offers a bundle that includes both reports for $3,495. For more
