As the Broadband Market Experiences Huge Growth the WIMAX Industry...

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c32965) has announced the addition of WIMAX Market Forecast (2006-2010) to their offering.



WIMAX stands for worldwide interoperability for microwave access. It is a standard based technology that can provide access to the Internet wirelessly, economically and easily even to far away customers i.e. in rural areas where the current broadband technologies cannot reach feasibly. WIMAX is similar to WiFi, but unlike WiFi, which has a range of 200 Meters, WIMAX has a longer range and it can reach to 30 miles. WIMAX will be a complementary technology to WIFI and 3G but these will all converge later. WIMAX will take care of the anomalies that were in WIFI and will be a better technology. IEEE802.16 standard identifies the Wireless MAN air interface used for wireless metropolitan access networks (MANs).



Although the WIMAX movement is mainly focused on the mobile industry prospects, it is the traditional fixed wireless market where the main implementation of WIMAX will take place for the first few years. It is only after 2009 that we see WIMAX in mobile technology implemented and used extensively. The world wide broadband market will grow swiftly and WIMAX can take the advantage. It is projected that the WIMAX equipment market will rise exponentially and will cross two billions in 2009. Analysts project the market to be three billions in 2010.The WIMAX certified products are expected to arrive in the last quarter of 2005 or the first quarter of 2006. However these products will be for fixed broadband only.



WIMAX is a more pioneering and commercially viable variation of a proven technology that is been used in broadband services around the globe today. WIMAX has vast potential but it has to cross quite a few obstacles before becoming the global uniform broadband wireless platform. It has to overcome the initial high cost of its products, decide on a uniform spectrum allocation, various issues regarding mobility standard i.e. IEEE 802.16e and availability of WIMAX equipments. Presently, the market is dominated by proprietary solutions, such as Navini, and WIFI. But in coming years, the role of WIMAX will increase, as WIMAX products will arrive in the market. WIMAX can take care of various issues like security, reach and that too at a favorable cost benefiting the industry. WIMAX has a strong industry support and the standard is widely backed up.



This report WIMAX - Market Forecast (2006-2010) discusses the various aspects of WIMAX technology. This report gives an overview of the current WIMAX market. It acquaints about the standards followed, the spectrum allocations and the working. It also talks about the scheme of implementation of WIMAX as technology. It addresses the various drivers to WIMAX such as performance, coverage etc. that are forcing the implementation of this technology.



Various applications of the technology and the potential users of the technology are covered in detail. The future market prospects along with the upcoming trends have also been covered. A section has been specially covered on the key players of the WIMAX industry.
