Will WiMAX Markets be Constricted by Global Economic Conditions?

The emerging market for WiMAX technologies and services is in an early stage. WTRS examines key application use cases to find if they form a platform for continued growth despite current economic uncertainty

Mountain View, CA, April 03, 2009 --(PR.com)-- New release of the WTRS WiMAX Emerging Technology Report 2009 finds WiMAX has achieved a strong foothold in the market today with deployments throughout the world. Market drivers for WiMAX include global availability of spectrum, superior throughput while maintaining mobility, and interest demonstrated by large range of component, OEM, and service providers. These drivers are not significantly affected by economic conditions. In the near-term there may be some delay in the deployment of WiMAX infrastructure, but WTRS forecasts a timely resurgence.

"Demand for WiMAX in North American and European markets for products in the mobile communications category are likely to be depressed over the coming 18 months, but that is an excellent opportunity for service providers to complete infrastructure build-out in order to be ready for WiMAX-hungry consumers after the economic uncertainty has passed," according to Kirsten West, PhD, principal analyst with WTRS. "However, in developing nations the story is quite different."

The WTRS WiMAX Emerging Technology Report 2009, analyzes and forecasts the market for WiMAX. A thorough evaluation of emerging WiMAX technologies including IEEE 802.16e, IEEE 802.16d, and IEEE 802.16m is included. A comprehensive 5-year forecast details sales volume, unit shipments, and average selling price by technology.
