The trends of WiMAX ecosystem will alternate between good and bad in 2008
In recent years, WiMAX backer has been making great efforts to let this technology get the cloth administration as soon as possible, and hope that so as to make it move market share in the service field of broadband and maximize in future 4G.
In the course of making great efforts to realize this goal, wimax technology (LTE) at least than Long-Term Evolution Wait for other 4G technology based on OFDMA to lead for four years. WiMAX camp knows even, trying the course that 4G is generally deploying the administration will face a lot of difficulties, will meet in introduce, authorize the intersection of products and delay situation that appear to market. On the basis of the technology of CDMA, such as EvDO and HSPA have already realized the similar use that WiMAX promises. However, those technology needs to realize the investment repayment promised for longer periods. So wireless network market does not plan, accept, will let WiMAX sit, enjoy, take place dominant technology first by another.
It is generally acknowledged 3.5G technology can't offer with based on that the technology of OFDMA is the same speed and response time, but meanwhile, the former can carry on the abundant improvement in speed and response time, thus meet present market demand.
In addition, besides a family, other large-scale a gleam of wireless to run commercial city to be unwilling to invest in the intersection of cloth and the intersection of administration and another technology, this is WiMAX in the situation in 2008. Particularly, WiMAX is a kind of commercially feasible technology, but it is only because the subverting characteristic is accepted, a kind of route to develop the telecommunication industry as entering or together with telecommunication industry. Telecommunication industry demand, cut off umbilical is namely any wired to connect, even in the intersection of family and the intersection of amusement and service, the intersection of family and the intersection of person who connect with office Internet and traditional wired application day by day, even the wired connection in the fixed speech communication.
