Unstrung Insider Analyzes the WiMax Equipment Market NEW YORK, July
15 /PRNewswire/ -- WiMax-compatible metro-area wireless is poised
to create a huge opportunity for equipment suppliers across a range
of access and backhaul applications, according to a new report from
Unstrung Insider (http://www.unstrung.com/insider), the wireless
infrastructure research service from Unstrung. The report -- WiMax:
Going the Distance -- examines the market potential for
WiMax-compatible equipment and analyzes the product strategies of
18 broadband wireless vendors. "WiMax is the best thing that could
happen to the fixed wireless access market," says the report's
author, Gabriel Brown. "Standardization at Layer 1 and Layer 2 will
cut vendor development costs and give service providers more
confidence to invest in their networks." Beyond that, another major
benefit will be to release resources for higher-layer networking
innovation, system management, and performance enhancements, adds
Brown. "It's hard not to be excited by WiMax." Among the report's
conclusions: -- The sub-11GHz BWA market will be worth $470 million
in 2004, rising to between $900 million and $1.4 billion in 2008.
-- The WiMax equipment market will be worth between $830 million
and $536 million by 2008. -- Alvarion and other smaller vendors
report sizeable increases in revenue, while Proxim and SR Telecom
are suffering sustained declines in revenue. -- WiMax isn't
delaying purchasing decisions for broadband wireless access
equipment. -- 3.5GHz bands dominate WiMax thinking, but beware of
mobility restrictions. -- License-exempt WiMax applications will
eventually be more exciting than industry wonks currently believe.
-- Major system OEMs are actively shopping for partners to help
build their WiMax platforms. Public broadband wireless access
