TelecomView Study Finds WiMAX Will Horn In
on 3G Data Market
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 7, 2004--WiMAX and other new
high-speed wireless technologies will capture more than 40 percent of
the Wireless Broadband, leaving 3G with less than 60 percent of the
market in 2009. These new technologies provide significant
opportunities for incumbent and competitive carriers, according to
TelecomView's new report, Wireless Broadband: Will it Replace 3G and
Fixed Broadband. This report analyzes the market for Wireless
Broadband through 2009 with an emphasis on how the increased
performance of new technologies such as WiMAX and TD-CDMA (UMTS-TDD)
will affect the market for 3G data services.
"Our forecasts show that WiMAX will be the clear winner amongst the
new high-speed wireless technologies," stated Ian Cox, Principal
Analyst at TelecomView and coauthor of this report. "WiMAX will pick
up 70 percent of this new market segment by 2009 due to its higher
performance and flexibility compared to the alternatives. 3G will be
important for its mobility, but WiMAX will directly compete with DSL."
TelecomView's report discusses WiMAX, TD-CDMA, 3G, and other Wireless
Broadband technologies. It covers current deployments, regulatory
issues, and the business case for these new technologies for both
urban and rural deployments. The report includes a forecast segmented
into eight regions globally that provides a fine grained view of the
market.
"Our business case shows that the ROI for these new Wireless Broadband
technologies is significantly better than for 3G," stated Bob
Larribeau, Principal Analyst at TelecomView and coauthor of this
report. "In fact, the business case for WiMAX, in particular, is close
to that for wireline DSL, which makes it an excellent broadband
technology alternative."
