Maravedis Market Reports

The fixed/portable broadband wireless equipment market (sub-11GHz) has grown from a $430 million (USD) market to $562 million, a 30% increase. Maravedis predicts the fixed broadband wireless market to pass the $ 2 billion mark by 2010.

2006 will be a critical year for broadband wireless in general and WiMAX in particular as a new 3.5GHz auction is set before the summer 2006. Maravedis latest report: Broadband Wireless and WiMAX Brazilian Market Analysis 2005-2010 provides an in-depth review of current regulatory and overall wireless market trends in Brazil.

As of November 2005 there were 1,767 BRS Licenses and 2,571 EBS Licenses listed on the FCC ULS License Search web site. These numbers have been very stable over the past several months with only the occasional change in ownership noted. An examination of the license details shows that there has been very little change activity in these licenses in the past couple of years. There is not likely to be much activity until the transition proceeding is complete.

The 700 MHz band includes the spectrum occupied by UHF TV channels 52 through 69 (698 MHz - 806 MHz). As a result of the 1996 amendments to the Communications Act, this band was re-allocated for use by other communications services, including Public Safety and Public Commercial use. Although development of Public Safety use in the 700 MHz band began in 1997, few systems have actually been deployed due to concerns with interference from the incumbent broadcasters.

Maravedis has surveyed country regulators in 53 of the worlds largest economies of the world in order to provide YOU with the only RELIABLE, COMPREHENSIVE AND UP-TO-DATE list of BWA/WiMAX spectrum license holders and technical regultions worldwide. ClearSpectrum is the result of that research and is composed of two separate databases: the Licensing and the Technical Databases.
