SAN FRANCISCO-WiMAX and other new high-speed wireless technologies will garner more than 40 percent of the wireless broadband market, while third-generation technologies will capture the remaining 60 percent by 2009, according to a new report from Telecom View.
The report, “Wireless Broadband: Will it Replace 3G and Fixed Broadband,” examines the market for wireless broadband through 2009, including analysis of how increased performance of new technologies will affect the market for 3G data services.
“Our forecasts show that WiMAX will be the clear winner amongst the new high-speed wireless technologies,” said Ian Cox, principal analyst at TelecomView and co-author of this report. “WiMAX will pick up 70 percent of this new market segment by 2009 due to its higher performance and flexibility compared to the alternatives. 3G will be important for its mobility, but WiMAX will directly compete with DSL.”
