DUBLIN, Ireland-- June 23, 2006--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c38596) has announced the addition of Broadband Strategies for the Mobile Market to
their offering.
WiMAX is emerging as a technology that can compete with mobile data networks.
Operators such as Korea Telecom and SK Telecom in Korea along with Sprint and
BellSouth in the U.S. have announced plans or intentions to deploy mobile WiMAX
technologies. Mobile WiMAX gives the wireline carriers an opportunity to enter
the mobile wireless market with better performance and lower costs than the 3G
technology being deployed by mobile carriers today. We expect that many of the
current mobile carriers will also adopt mobile WiMAX technologies to provider
higher speed and to lower their costs.
This report discusses the technical and regulatory factors that are leading to
the deployment of WiMAX mobile services. It discusses the strategies of twelve
service providers offering high-speed wireless data services and twelve systems
and component companies that are addressing this market. This report discusses
how these companies expect that mobile WiMAX will affect the high-speed wireless
data market.
This report presents the business case for WiMAX in mobile networks. It compares
the business case for mobile WiMAX at 2.5GHz and 3.5GHz to HSDPA and shows the
fundamental cost advantages that mobile WiMAX enjoy over 3G technologies. Two
business cases are shown. One is for the green field operator creating a mobile
WiMAX network from scratch. The second is for the established mobile carrier that
uses WiMAX to supplement its existing mobile services using dual mode handsets.
The report also includes a set of market forecasts for the mobile WiMAX and the
3G markets that give a global forecast along with forecasts for Europe, Asia,
North America, and the Rest of the World. A forecast is included for mobile WiMAX
and 3G subscribers, service revenue, device shipments and value, and Capex. A
supplemental spreadsheet is included that includes the charts in the report along
with supplemental charts that provide additional perspectives on the market.
