WiMAX Facades Unsullied Challenge to Broadband and DSL
By James Marriot
In the US a technology known as WiMAX is being conceptualized that will make high-speed wireless Internet services available in areas much larger than a typical Wi-fi coffee bar. These wireless hotspots would match the size of Philadelphia or a rural community in the American heartland.
WiMAX would be developed to spread Internet facilities across cities, using radio networks with much wider ranges than Wi-fi, a system available in coffee shops. However, it is questionable how far this service would be commercially viable.
Once WiMAX is in force, some broadband operators already have plans to use it as a way to expand their networks, and city administrators are ready to offer broadband services cheap in public places such as parks or low-income housing areas.
WiMAX which should be capable of delivering 50 megabits to 100 megabits per second is therefore much superior to DSL and cable. Analysts therefore believe that this technology would be far more competitive especially in rural areas, where the technology isn't built out.
According to the latest market research report "WiMAX Market Forecast (2006-2010)" of RNCOS, WiMAX and other emerging high-speed wireless technologies are likely to capture 42% of the wireless broadband business over the next few years thereby making WiMAX a popular standard.
The report predicts that WiMAX technology would be widely accepted by the telecom market in Asia-Pacific countries. It is expected that the market there would have 3.8 million subscribers by 2009.
It discusses the various aspects of WiMAX technology and gives an overview of the current market trends. It introduces the standards followed, the spectrum allocations and their operational aspect. As it addresses the various drivers to WiMAX such as performance, coverage etc., and the scheme of implementation of this technology is also handled in the report.
It also covers company profiles of 10 vendors providing WiMAX services and equipment. The various applications and their potential users are also dealt with in the report.
