Study Summary

This study is an update to the eight-year series of Visant Strategies WiMAX research reports. This report provides up to date market figures and a focus on the impact of 802.16m and the viability of the platform in the future. It considers the specific 802.16m enhancements which will make the greatest difference to mobile wireless and fixed wireless carriers and it also focuses on applications, spectrum and geographic markets where WiMAX can prosper.

Current mobile WiMAX successes and leading service providers are studied and the impact of recent defections to LTE are considered as are the prospects for WiMAX networks in the future in the much sought after 2-3 GHz spectrum allocations throughout the world.

Fixed/portable applications are considered in detail as is the WiMAX role as a mobile system in second and third tier markets. Trends which will propel fixed line broadband forward and the potential for WiMAX in this segment are assessed.

Tables quantify the qualitative discussions with forecasts for WiMAX users, base stations and users provided by applications and revision of the 802.16 standard. Femtocell users, service revenues and devices shipments are also provided.
