A Global Analysis of Operators, Equipment, Chips & Broadband Alternatives

Report No: 8010, Published January 2008

This 300-page report is an in-depth analysis of operators, equipment, chips & broadband alternatives, both wired and wireless. Detailed equipment and chip forecasts (MAC/PHY RF & Comm) are presented through 2012 with 2007 market shares. WiMAX/BWA system houses are profiled with cumulative revenue estimates and 2007 market shares.

Key study findings include:

• WIMAX, variously as fixed or mobile services, will bring broadband access services to rural and undeveloped regions of the world.
• WIMAX growth in India will be strong and will precede 3G rollouts.
• WIMAX will become large in China, but on the heels of 3G TD-SCDMA.
• If mobile WiMAX can supplement existing cellular networks as an overlay, it will become a mainstream technology.

The study also notes that the supporting ecosystem is growing, for example:

• Over 200 Operators are deploying WiMAX, worldwide.
• Over 30 companies are supplying WiMAX infrastructure equipment.
• Over 16 companies are providing WiMAX client equipment.
• Over 19 companies offer 802.16e MAC/PHY baseband chip sets
• Over 15 companies are now offer WiMAX radio transceiver chips

This extensive market study provides the in-depth information you need to understand dynamics of the broadband market (both wired and wireless), the major players and the competitive landscape.  This valuable information will aid you in writing business plans and enable you to make informed decisions for your company.
