WiMAXWiMAX Infrastructure Deployment Opportunities in Infrastructure Deployment Opportunities in AsiaAsia

Asia Pacific will represent 45% of WiMAX Market by 2009 with equipment spending accounting for US$1,988.2 million by 2009. Subscribers will reach 3 million by 2009.China is estimated to contribute 38% of the regional WiMAXequipment revenue in 2009, followed by South Korea with 23.1% and Japan with 22.5%. China will boast the highest WiMAX service revenue in 2009, due to its largest subscriber base developed by competitive wireless service providers. Juniper Research expects Mobile WiMax wireless broadband

system service users will increase from 1.7 million in 2007 to 21 million in 2012 – driven largely by data. OEMs will likely focus on WiMax-WiFi dual-mode products rather than Wimax-3G dual-mode solutions.

Challenges Exist for Challenges Exist for WiMAXWiMAX DeploymentDeployment

Spectrum regulation varies significantly across countriesCompetition from other technologies such as HSDPA and TD-SCDMA may cause delaysFixed wireless operators’ somewhat lack of enthusiasm about WiMAX after past bad experiences on last-mile promises from vendors. In China, government regulations especially on tele-broadcasting will be different from tele-communication. Government is trying to find ways to achieve the harmonization and the convergence of different networking technologies. It is uncertain at this moment.
