Summary

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.
