Worldwide Fixed WiMAX Subscribers to Surpass 7
Million in 2009
By the end of 2009, there will be more than 7 million subscribers
worldwide using broadband wireless services based on 802.16REVd
technology, the fixed flavor of WiMAX, according to Untethering
Broadband: WiMAX, 802.20, and Others, a new report from Parks
Associates.
On June 24, 2004, the IEEE approved 802.16REVd as IEEE 802.16-2004, and
the final edited standard will be published in late July. The new standard
should encourage further development and innovation in fixed broadband
wireless solutions, according to Parks Associates.
“This standard is exciting news for the industry,” said
Yuanzhe (Michael) Cai, senior analyst at Parks Associates. “However,
interoperability test and certification process both take time and on
average carriers spend 6 months trialing new equipment, and therefore the
market is unlikely to see volume commercial deployment until 2006.
“Residential market deployments of 802.16 REVd are likely to occur
first in Europe and Asia, with Latin America and North America following
their lead. Most of the deployments in the developed world will be in the
underserved markets, fueled by government mandates on wide broadband
availability, and developing countries with poor wireline network
infrastructure will use 802.16REVd for both voice and data.”
