Research and Markets: WiMAX: 2008 Through 2013 - An Evolution To 802.16m

DUBLIN, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c79005) has announced the addition of “WiMAX: 2008 Through 2013 - An Evolution to 802.16m” to their offering.

Study Summary

This study is an assessment of WiMAX equipment and service opportunities through 2013 within the mobile and traditional fixed wireless segments. Special attention is placed upon the competitive position of mobile WiMAX verses existing and future 3GPP and 3GPP2 mobile platforms (HSPA , EV-DO, LTE and UMB) and the potential impact 802.16e and 802.16m will have upon the mobile market.

Key trends and challenges to success are considered such as use of femtocells, availability of Wave 2 MIMO equipped devices, fixed vs. mobile services, spectrum availability, and potential for WiMAX within laptops and other devices. Analysis is also provided regarding the impact of mobile carriers’ expected roll out of mobile WiMAX deployment.

The role of WiMAX within the traditional DSL/cable modem replacement segment is also carefully studied as this segment constitutes the industry’s main revenue source. Also detailed is the expected growth on several traditional WiMAX bands and on new bands utilized for fixed and portable applications.

Mobile and fixed WiMAX base station annual shipments and cumulative deployments are given as are revenues for the yearly shipments with all figures segmented by region. WiMAX subscribers and revenues are quantified and segmented by application and also broken down according to region and radio band.

BWA subscribers and revenues are also given as are shipments and revenues for WiMAX phones, CPE, modems, and chipsets. WiMAX user device shipments and chipsets are segmented according to operating band, and standard revision (802.16e, “802.16d,” and 802.16m). Wave 2 devices, chipsets shipments and revenues are also provided. All forecasts are given through 2013.

The study provides two sets of forecasts for all figures with one set assuming a more limited mobile WiMAX deployment.
