WIMAX DEPLOYMENTS
TRENDSMEDIA/RETHINK PUBLISH WIMAX DEPLOYMENTS AND INVESTMENT 2006-9
August 11, 2006 - According to Trendsmedia/Rethink Research's latest
report, "WiMAX Deployments and Investment 2006-9", global WiMAX
infrastructure spending will rocket from $655m today to $7.36bn by 2009,
just three short years away.
WiMAX spending will go from 22.5% of all broadband wireless spending in
2006 to be the dominant platform in the market, with a 63% share. This is
the first piece of research to state definitively how much money will be
spent on WiMAX equipment, including core networking - in which countries,
and for which applications.
The report draws entirely on operators' spending plans rather than vendor
estimates. Rethink Research has enjoyed confidential access to the
spending plans of over 200 service providers from all round the world,
including how much money they have committed to future WiMAX spending, and
how much they have spent so far in building out standard and pre-certified
WiMAX networks. The next few years will show a remarkable pattern, with
European spending skyrocketing and taking up 56% of 2006 WiMAX spending,
only to be caught up by aggressive Chinese and other Asia Pacific network
build. US spending will be relevant, but by no means dominant.
Though mobile operators still see WiMAX as being in the enemy camp, by
2009 mobile operators round the world will be the second largest spenders
on WiMAX equipment, making up 17% of the total WiMAX equipment spend.
The report shows that the market for WiMAX equipment will be larger than
many have previously suggested and informs 802.16 vendors in which
territories they should be making their biggest efforts. Spending will
explode on the back of rising demand for broadband to be ubiquitous and
either personal or portable, and though 802.16e will be the key platform,
this will span both fixed and mobile applications.
KEY FINDINGS:
. Wireless will increase its share of the broadband market from 2% to
around 17% in the early years of the next decade.
. WiMAX spending will be focused almost entirely on licensed bands and the
5GHz band may not even gain a wide choice of certified equipment, relying
instead on cost effective options such as Motorola Canopy. 3.5GHz. will
account for 70% of spending.
. Additional 3.5GHz licenses will be offered in France, Germany, Italy and
parts of Eastern Europe in 2006-7, driving a second wave of European
investment, and this trend will be reflected from late 2007 in Africa and
the Middle East.
"WiMAX Global Spending Plans: 2006 - 2009" includes separate detailed
breakdowns of spending in the US, Caribbean/Latin America, Europe, Middle
East/Africa, China and Japan, India, Pakistan, Australia and south East
Asia, and costs $1,495 for a single protected PDF copy.
