Based on extensive research and accumulated experience, this Maravedis report is the most valuable set of information needed for key product and marketing decisions that lead to success in the emerging wireless broadband space. This report provides a clear and present competitive edge to decision makers.

Some of the Major Highlights of the Report include:

• Service providers are examining fixed mobile convergence to reverse ARPU decline
• WiMAX is becoming the obvious choice to extend service offering
• Service providers care about certification, standardization and economies of scale in the medium to long term, but they want robust equipment with NLOS capabilities today.
• Outdoor WiMAX CPE will be phased out in 2008, with indoor CPEs representing the bulk of shipments.
• The cost of indoor CPE will fall to US$75 by 2008, which will in turn boost the proliferation of WiMAX.
• Various countries do not allow TDD in the 3.5 GHz band, therefore leaving no choice but to deploy 802.16-2004 FDD equipment.
• BRIC countries will represent one third of accumulated BWA/WiMAX subscribers by 2012.
• Lack of spectrum allocated for WiMAX China and India is of concern, and may impact WiMAX adoption if not resolved by 2008
• The essential IPRs (patents) for WiMAX technology being held by different and non-dominant companies will provide WiMAX the opportunity to emerge as being a lower cost technology.
• WiMAX will represent 90% of subscribers who are added in 2012, of whom 75% will be using 802.16- 2005 technology.
• The WiMAX equipment market is forecasted to reach an annual US$6 billion in 2012, and will have generated accumulated revenues of US$15 billion by then.

• Operators: understand how WiMAX will improve your bottom line and understand vendor roadmaps and strengths.
• Equipment Vendors: strengthen your knowledge of your competitors and the overall market trends.
• Financiers: understand the revenue potential of WiMAX and the emerging vendors.
• Consultants and Others: develop a strategic understanding of Broadband Wireless in general and WiMAX in particular.
