Visant Strategies Market Reports

This report assesses the market for WiMAX based equipment and services in the sub 11 GHz bands. It addresses use of the technology for fixed and potential mobile applications. It determines the current status of the WiMAX market and investigates requirements for a mass-market success. Competitors to WiMAX in both the fixed and mobile (4G) realms are assessed. Key vendors are discussed as well as global developments by region. 802.16 chipset, base station and CPE revenues and volumes are quantified, and the report provides a detailed analysis of the BWA segment that is the primary application for WiMAX.

Mobile Infrastructure is an annual release which quantifies global base station deployments and subscribers. It segments these figures by region (Eastern and Western Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific and Middle East and Africa) and then by technology (WCDMA, EDGE, GSM/GPRS, HSDPA, CDMA2000, IDEN) within each region. High Speed 3G users are also quantified for each region. Key drivers leading to infrastructure and subscriber growth are assessed as are trends in each region. In addition the report segments subscribers in China and provides a framework for decision makers to evaluate strategic activity in subscriber and infrastructure markets.

Emerging Wireless examines opportunities presented by recent and forthcoming wireless platforms, including next generation IP-based wireless technologies, TD-SCDMA and HSDPA. It also looks the criteria and various definitions of next generation networks (NGN) and fourth generation wireless (4G). Fixed and mobile markets are considered and assessed.
