Research and
Markets: Large Number of Companies Actively Promoting WiMAX
Thursday April 28, 11:45 am ET
Research and Markets has announced the
addition of WiMAX: The Rebel Broadband to their offering.
Just because WiMAX has been the center of a lot of attention lately
does not mean that it is all hype and no substance. In fact, quite the
opposite is true. Currently, there is a large number of companies
actively promoting WiMAX, with nearly 200 in its WiMAX forum. It also
has opportunities before it to not only be a potentially cheaper way
of providing broadband - both in the US and abroad - but it also can
be used as a means to provide backhaul for cellular BTSs, as well as,
eventually, providing an alternative to the high cost of using a
mobile phone.
However, there are still a reasonable amount of unknowns involved with
WiMAX, so, in this report, three different scenarios for how WiMAX
will be used in the US are provided and a detailed forecast for each
perspective.
- Local WISPs adopting WiMAX to be more cost effective
- National companies rollout combined WiMAX + VoIP services

services

backhaul technology.
