WiMAX Equipment Market Up 46% in 2007

(Business News & Technology News, 3 Mar 2008)


The WiMAX market sequentially grew 11 percent for the quarter and 46 percent for the year, with worldwide sales of fixed and mobile WiMAX equipment hitting just under $800 million in 2007, according to market research firm Infonetics Research. With WiMAX being deployed in more than 80 countries worldwide and commercial networks continuing to grow in number and size, Infonetics forecasts the WiMAX market to grow to $7.7 billion in 2011.

"Several recent developments are giving a boost to the WiMAX market," said Richard Webb, wireless analyst for Infonetics Research. "Among the most significant developments include Cisco's acquisition of mobile WiMAX vendor Navini Networks, the market entrance of specialist ASN gateway vendor WiChorus, the launch of WiMAX phones and Ultra Mobile PCs, and the new Open WiMAX initiative, which promotes disruptive, all-IP open WiMAX architecture, and should lead to best-of-breed solutions with inter-vendor interoperability."

Statistics from the latest report from Infonetics Research show that the number of worldwide WiMAX subscribers (fixed and mobile) topped 2.2 million in 2007, led by the Asia Pacific region; with the majority being fixed WiMAX subscribers. Also, Alvarion maintains its lead in worldwide fixed WiMAX equipment revenue share in 2007, followed by Airspan. Meanwhile, Motorola is the leader in worldwide mobile WiMAX equipment revenue share in 2007, followed by Samsung.
