WiMAX - the way forward?

With the fixed-line markets now appearing to be tapped out, incumbent and alternative operators are seeking fresh opportunities to deliver high-speed video, voice, data, and value-added services to the mass market. The costs of building large-capacity fibre-optic networks remain very high, while the much-vaunted third-generation (3G) mobile telephony networks promise much and deliver comparatively little for the high subscription charges involved. This makes it imperative for operators and service providers alike to find new ways of delivering advanced telecommunications services at a reasonable cost.

The rising popularity of wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) networks points to the likely success of fixed and mobile wireless access platforms in meeting this requirement. But Wi-Fi offers only limited coverage and mobility, whereas WiMAX promises greater reach, capacity, and flexibility for customers, network operators, and service providers.

Consequently, there was much interest in the licensing of 2.3GHz, 2.5GHz, and 3.5GHz wireless frequencies around the world in 2006, and this interest is set to rise in 2007 as vendors receive certification for their WiMAX products and operators increase their commitment to rolling out nationwide networks using WiMAX-based equipment.

Whether WiMAX will ultimately prove to be a worthy alternative to wireless platforms such as EDGE, HSDPA, HSUPA, or UMTS or fixed-line offerings such as xDSL remains to be seen, but the technology is expected to form a key element in most next-generation networks worldwide by the end of the decade and will see billions of dollars spent in its deployment over the next three years.

But who are the key WiMAX players and what are their strategies?
Which companies are receiving the lion's share of network deployment contracts?
Which countries are poised to license WiMAX operators?
And where are there still opportunities for new entrants in the market?
