Study: WiMAX to Control Broadband Wireless

A new study from Senza Fili says WiMAX soon will dominate the fixed broadband wireless market, but its future in mobile isn't as clear. In its report, titled "Fixed or Mobile WiMAX? Forecasts and assessment for the transition from 802.16-2004 to 802.16e WiMAX," Senza Fili says 802.16e - the version of WiMAX that supports mobile access - will be the clear winner over 802.16-2004, which only supports fixed services. The former's performance meets the requirements of both fixed and mobile service providers and creates the economies of scale needed to drive equipment prices down. Even though it will not be available for a year or more after 802.16-2004, the report predicts that nearly 60 percent of WiMAX subscribers will be using 802.16e by 2010. However, the report also suggests that mobile operators with 3G networks will not be the first to adopt WiMAX. "New and established service providers that are eager to enter the mobility and portability market, but do not have cellular spectrum, will drive WiMAX adoption," Monica Paolini, author of the report, said in a statement. By 2010, there will be 15.4 million WiMAX subscribers worldwide, generating $16.5 billion in service revenues, the researchers predict.
