The WiMAX Value Proposition Capex, Opex, Performance


Description: WiMAX detractors are getting more vocal, with executives at companies such as Ericsson and Qualcomm expressing skepticism. But as work to implement the network technology makes progress, WiMAX also continues to generate true believers, and the upcoming battle with other wireless broadband technologies is shaping up to be decisive for many players. We look beyond unfounded claims and pipe dreams to examine known facts and form projections based on realistic assumptions. WiMAX needs—and deserves—a closer look.

This report, The WiMAX Value Proposition: Capex, Opex, Performance, examines the business case for WiMAX, especially in comparison with 3G technologies. It focuses on two questions: Does mobile WiMAX perform better than 3G, and will mobile WiMAX be cheaper than 3G?

Key Objectives
- Is WiMAX a better technology than HSPA, CDMA EVDO, 3G LTE or UMB?
- Does WiMAX have a time-to-market advantage?
- When will WiMAX equipment achieve economies of scale?
- Where does WiMAX fit?
- Which technologies are the winners and losers in fixed and mobile broadband markets?

Audience
Operators
This report offers a comparative analysis of technological performance, Capex, and Opex for fixed and mobile broadband technologies, including WiMAX, DSL and 3G+. This should help operators get a deeper understanding on how WiMAX can impact their business model as they make investment decisions.

Equipment vendors
The report assists vendors in evaluating the market potential of the respective network technologies and in positioning products and services for the broadband opportunity.

Financial institutions and investors
By evaluating the network performance and economics behind WiMAX in comparison to the other broadband technologies, the report helps financial institutions and investors determine the business cases of service providers and vendors.
