TelecomView Study Says WiMAX to be Significant in Mobile Market


SAN FRANCISCO --(Business Wire)-- Feb. 8, 2006 -- WiMAX will become an important tool of mobile carriers for providing high speed wireless services. The new, emerging carriers will use WiMAX as their base technology for voice and high speed data services, while many established carriers will use it to provide higher speed services and to lower their costs. TelecomView's new report Broadband Strategies for the Mobile Market analyzes the market for WiMAX in mobile networks with forecasts through 2011 along with a business case which illustrates the benefits of a WiMAX architecture in high speed mobile networks.



"We forecast that WiMAX will become an important part of mobile networks," stated Ian Cox, Principal Analyst at TelecomView and coauthor of this report. "We think that WiMAX will have 16 percent of the subscribers and account for 16 percent of Capex in high-speed mobile networks in 2011."

This report is available for $2,495 and identifies the strategies of major wireless carriers and systems companies. It covers new mobile WiMAX deployments, discusses regulatory issues, and the business case for both green field and incumbent mobile carriers. The forecast is segmented into four regions globally and includes charts for both WiMAX and 3G in mobile networks.


"Our business case show that the ROI for WiMAX is significantly better than 3G technologies," stated Bob Larribeau, Principal Analyst at TelecomView and coauthor of this report. "WiMAX will put the green field operator into a superior position and will push its adoption by the existing wireless carriers in order to remain competitive as well as to lower costs."
