TechNavio today launched its Global WiMAX Equipment Market 2011“2015 report based on an in-depth study covering the Americas and the EMEA and the APAC regions. The report aims to aid decision makers™ understanding of the present and the future landscape of the market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio™s Telecom team said, The demand for high bandwidth is one of the major drivers in the Global WiMAX Equipment market. Telecom operators across the globe are rolling out 4G (LTE and WiMAX) networks due to the saturation of 3G networks. However, operators across the globe are deploying their LTE networks, but they need to use bandwidth effectively to reduce operational expenditure. Hence, operators are using WiMAX as an alternative broadband backhaul to provide services with the necessary bandwidth to the fast-increasing user base and to reduce their operational expenditure by providing voice and data traffic on the WiMAX network.
According to the report, one of the major trends being witnessed in the Global WiMAX Equipment market is that vendors are providing WiMAX solutions which can be upgraded to LTE. Integrated chip (IC) suppliers are manufacturing ICs which can combine LTE and WiMAX. Radio frequency antennae and ICs are manufactured to combine WiMAX and LTE. Methods have been developed by groups where performance varies by less than 10 percent for frame synchronization, i.e., to align signaling frame structures between WiMAX and LTE. All of the abovementioned points suggest that WiMAX and LTE suppliers are coming together to provide a framework for the coexistence of LTE and WiMAX.
The report also reveals that one of the major challenges in this market is the competition from LTE technology.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key players.
