RNCOS Releases a New Report - Global WiMAX Market Analysis

Delhi, India, June 20, 2008 --(PR.com)-- RNCOS has recently added a new Market Research Report titled, "Global WiMAX Market Analysis" to its report gallery. The report gives an overview of the technology coupled with its worldwide market status and evaluates the current scenario of the global WiMAX market by technology and region (including Asia-Pacific countries, North America, Latin America, Western and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa). It presents a précis on the operators operating in the field and thoroughly discusses WiMAX deployments being carried out all over the world.

World Interoperability for Microwave Access, or WiMAX, is fast gaining traction in the marketplace as the establishment of industry-wide standards has enabled both service providers and technology vendors to make commercial commitments to the technology. With the finalization of the WiMAX 802.16e standard, different kinds of operators all over the world are beginning to focus on the opportunities presented by the WiMAX. Component vendors, infrastructure vendors, and device manufacturers are each playing a role to advance the development and commercialization of WiMAX.

Key Findings

- 3.5 GHz licensed spectrums represent biggest opportunity followed by 2.5 GHz and other 5 GHz is largest unlicensed opportunity.
- Large subscriber base, inadequate broadband infrastructure, along with the need for faster Internet access, will propel growth in WiMAX deployments in the Asia-Pacific and MEA regions.
- Countries such as China, India and Russia, with their underdeveloped infrastructure and large populations, represent strong potential for WiMAX growth.
- Europe is lagging behind slightly in WiMAX deployments due to its well-built cell infrastructure, intense competition, and strong presence of 3G services.
- Finalization of the WiMAX 802.16e standard will offset the growth in WiMAX fixed services and major demand will be seen in mobile WiMAX services in coming few years.
- The price difference between WiMAX and DSL tends to be narrow, which tends to negate price as a factor for potential customers.
