Future Horizons: WiMAX competition pressure aggravated
Author: Jane
FWA standard WiMAX is standing the pressure of competition from other many kinds of broadband technology, and the pressure of this kind of competition is also in rising continuously, the operator that has even disposed WiMAX recently begins to suspect the final victor who can become this field oneself.
According to report that Future Horizons releases in 12 months, WDA-HSDPA in the building, LTE, CDMA EVDO, the intersection of IEEE802.20 and these move wireless technology and IEEE802.11n improvement arrangement of Wireless Local Area Network, bring keen competition to WiMAX.
Future Horizons chief analyst Malcolm Penn shows, WiMAX is moved a wireless a technical wideband data assembly as 4G now, he says: “Can superpose WiMAX technical temporary solution to offer one kind in 3G network if there is a kind of idea now, this way may let the operator accept WiMAX more easily, and give up the thought of adopting LTE or 4G solution costing an arm and a leg directly. ”
He thinks, all have arrangement for WiMAX in South Korea, India and Middle East, and ” WiMAX of U.S.A. disposes and delays constantly, like having disruptive news of Spring and Clearwite cooperation between two companies recently. ”
In Britain, WiMAX like PIPE/Freedom4 disposes and receives the sparse restriction of coverage, but can use the rare worry of frequency spectrum in European other areas.
This will bring the chance to other technology, ” the arrangement like HSDPA technology develops very smoothly, and LTE seem to have the tendency to put expertise to good use in 2010. ”
But WiMAX in any case ” Have not become extinct yet ” ,It will be the key to WiMAX final and decisive juncture, optimistic while predicting the following five years Future Horizons in future 18 months, there will be improvement in the arrangement for WiMAX.
