Market Overview
Multiple Benefits Drive Growth of WiMAX in Asia Pacific
Broadband wireless access (BWA) solutions have suffered either an early demise or slow adoption due to the lack of standardization and poor interoperability. Worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX), on the other hand, has generated much interest as the next evolutionary data-voice enabler. "In the Asia Pacific region, the ratification of the WiMAX standards and the increased activities surrounding BWA spectrum allocation during 2005 and 2006 have resulted in the emergence of WiMAX," notes the analyst of this study. "A BWA evolution, WiMAX is poised to cause a major upheaval in the telecommunications industry."
The added mobility and farther range that WiMAX offers over its predecessor, wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi), and its ability to provide greater bandwidth over third-generation (3G) networks further strengthen its appeal. Ultimately, the fate of WiMAX is likely to be determined by its right positioning and strategic concoction; either complimentary or complementary to existing technologies.
Lack of Robust Infrastructure in Asia Pacific Drives WiMAX Adoption
The low broadband subscriber penetration and teledensity in the Asia Pacific are major motivators of WiMAX deployment. Compared to Europe and North America, Asia Pacific is expected to be a more suitable test bed for WiMAX, given the lack of telecommunications infrastructure, low broadband penetration, and geographically widespread population. However, the diffusing pace of WiMAX development across countries is also a reflection of the huge economic disparity and various levels of market saturation in the region.
"Although the major impetus behind WiMAX is in the mobility portion, 802.16e, fixed WiMAX is likely to drive adoption in the next three years since mobile WiMAX handsets are expected to become available only by 2009," explains the analyst. "Furthermore, these handsets may not be offered at attractive prices along with the functionalities and applications that 3G devices are likely to support, such as mobile video streaming and music."
