WiMAX Market Analysis and Forecasts The Opportunity for Base Stations, CPE, and Mobile Devices The WiMAX market has drastically shifted focus from 802.16d to 802.16e, as the coming wave of mobile WiMAX base stations, CPE, and mobile devices will fuel WiMAX’s growth. This study examines major drivers and barriers for WiMAX and compares it to 3G and other 4G technologies. 802.16m – or WiMAX 2.0 – is considered in detail, as is the WiMAX patent landscape. The report contains forecast sets for 802.16-2004 and 802.16e-2005, and includes subscribers, ARPU, and revenue by region, and CPE and base station shipments, ASP, and revenue by various segmentations. Detailed segmentation is provided for mobile WiMAX devices, including external adapters, miniCards inside laptops, handsets, consumer electronics, PNDs, UMPCs, and mobile Internet devices. What Does This Report Answer? What does the future hold for 802.16d versus 802.16e? When will 802.16m come into play? What will the main mobile WiMAX device categories be? What is the equipment revenue outlook? What are WiMAX subscriber forecasts by region? How is Qualcomm building up its OFDM/OFDMA portfolio and clients? Which vendors have contracts with which service providers? Which countries and service providers have announced trials? Which countries and service providers have announced commercial networks? What are the differences between MIMO A and MIMO B? What are the differences between MIMO and beamforming? Who Needs This Report?
