WiMAX: The Rebel Broadband
In-Stat/MDR, Dec 2004
Just because WiMAX has been the center of a lot of attention lately does not mean that it is all hype and no substance. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Currently, there is a large number of companies actively promoting WiMAX, with nearly 200 in its WiMAX forum. It also has opportunities before it to not only be a potentially cheaper way of providing broadband – both in the US and abroad – but it also can be used as a means to provide backhaul for cellular BTSs, as well as, eventually, providing an alternative to the high cost of using a mobile phone.
However, there are still a reasonable amount of unknowns involved with WiMAX, so, in this report, we provide three different scenarios for how WiMAX will be used in the US and a detailed forecast for each perspective.
- Local WISPs adopting WiMAX to be more cost effective
- National companies rollout combined WiMAX + VoIP services
- National companies offer combined WiMAX + VoIP + Satellite TV services
Taking to the most likely scenario, the second of the above, we also provide a worldwide forecast for WiMAX market, including its use as a backhaul technology.
This WiMAX report also provides a detailed technical backgrounder and an expansive market overview so that the reader is fully versed in all the pertinent aspects of WiMAX.
