WTRS Press Release

WiMAX - WTRS Introduces Comprehensive Research Coverage Including Sprint Initiative.

WTRS introduces a Market Report cluster covering all aspects of WiMAX technology, markets, standards and intellectual property development.

Mountain View, CA (PRWeb) August 27, 2007

WTRS has published a portfolio of reports that provides complete insights into the development of the WiMAX standard, its global market potential and intellectual property holdings. This portfolio includes:
1. Wireless Broadband (WiMAX) Patent and IP Report
2. WiMAX Emerging Technology Report
3. Wireless Broadband (WiMAX) Technology Trends Report
4. Telecom Application Report
5. Mobile Computing Application Report

The WTRS cluster of studies is a valuable and all-encompassing source on all market sectors of the WiMAX technology market.

The Wireless Broadband (WiMAX) Patent and IP Report gives details on the dramatic surge in WiMAX patent activity throughout the industry. This report provides the industry's only comprehensive and independent assessment of IEEE 802.16a, IEEE 802.16d-2004 and IEEE 802.16e-related patent activity.

The WiMAX Emerging Technology Report includes analysis of WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e and IEEE 802.16d-2004) technologies and alliance development, as well as an evaluation of current technology, geographical hotspots of activity and corporate developments. It is a valuable resource for those who are evaluating entry into the market sector. The results are based on discussions with executive management from major participants in the marketplace, as well as our proprietary macroeconomic research tools.

The Wireless Broadband (WiMAX) Technology Trends Report offers a comprehensive analysis of total addressable market issues in individual early geographic areas that makes it possible to join other companies that are entering a particular geographic market and will achieve a reasonable ROI.

The Telecom Application Report is written primarily for component-level companies who are in the process of evaluating the Telecom market, the "Wireless Broadband" sector and the participation of WiMAX (802.16a, 802.16d-2004, and 802.16e).

The Mobile Computing Application Report assesses the viability of emerging Wireless technologies in the Mobile Communications Industry. This report is a valuable resource for those who are evaluating entry into this market sector. The results are based on discussions with key participants in the marketplace.

"The potential for WiMAX is highly dependent on its success in the telecom sector," according to Kirsten West, principal analyst at WTRS. "At the same time the prerequisites for the broad adoption of WiMAX in the US are in place, and Sprint's activities developing IP, infrastructure and applications are the most compelling indication."

The WTRS cluster of studies also contains detailed information on:
1. A dramatic surge in WiMAX patent activity.
2. Examples of WiMAX used to solve actual business pain are emerging.
3. The impetus for WiMAX market expansion is the growth of services in end user applications that utilize the expanded mobility and high bandwidth that WiMAX affords.
4. IEEE 802.16 WiMAX has found a niche in backhaul networks and as an alternative to landline telephone service for small and medium businesses.
5. Development of WiMAX in Africa is progressing in countries as dissimilar as Congo, Ethiopia and South Africa. Competition for African markets will rage between India (ahead so far) and China, with Western providers continuing to play a major role.
6. WiMAX market entry is greatly influenced by the global availability of spectrum.
7. Entering the US market, fixed WiMAX will have hurdles to overcome.
8. The 4 geographic areas with the greatest potential for WiMAX success are Japan, Asia, Africa and Canada.
