WiMAX, 2nd Edition: Analyzing End User Demand Trends
Description
As regulatory issues, technical challenges and certification processes begin to be addressed, WiMAX ecosystems are steadily being built, leading to deployments that are slowly but surely being realized in both developed and developing country markets. For the majority of 2006, WiMAX equipment has been shipped and installed mainly for backhaul purposes and network building efforts. This trend will certainly continue until 2007 and gather momentum throughout succeeding years.
However, beyond system deployments that have largely been the dominant business model in recent years, service provider strategies and investment funds spent will begin to be manifested more concretely through the buildup of a WiMAX subscriber base. Many see 2007 as the tipping point or inflection point in time for "real" WiMAX growth, and 2007 will be the real test on whether WiMAX does in fact succeed given the market positioning or hype that has taken place thus far.
As such, efforts on the supply side via the establishment of the ecosystem will have to be translated to a sustainable business model on the demand side. Key elements such as form factors of devices ranging from laptop PCs, highly functional cellular phones, Blackberry-sized devices with a host of features that include data, video and voice, as well as the inherent feature of mobility need to be considered in analyzing their effects on end user penetration levels.
Other elements required to analyze and forecast distinct end user markets include:
- Urban Versus Rural Usage
- Corporate Usage
- Fixed, Nomadic and Mobile Usage Levels
