Rumor Mill - A Well-Known WiMAX Vendor Will Go Public

Posted Wed, 29 Nov 2006 18:04:46 EST by Philip Solis

A very well-known WiMAX vendor may soon announce that they are going public - Redline.  This is still on the side of rumor, but has been reported by WiMAX Day.  This is just another example of the solidifying WiMAX market. We have seen hype calm down into a sense of reality, and we are seeing WiMAX vendors sell off unrelated business units and going public. Alvarion and Airspan are already publicly traded companies.  One of the next steps will be consolidation. Small companies may merge, large telecom vendors may purchase WiMAX startups, etc.
