2007 will be the year of WiMax

According to Dan Coombes, senior vice president of Motorola, a pioneer in wireless broadband technology promotion, WiMax will have great growth next year, widely applied and completely no longer a technology in the form of " potential ".

With the advantage of high distance and high bandwidth connection, besides reasonable cost and supported by many large technology firms, WiMax is a clear dominant solution in the development of wireless broadband network system. in the future on a global scale. Last year, the International Electrical and Electronics Engineers IEEE certified 802.16e-2005 WiMax mobile standard, while fixed WiMax products were certified and deployed by the WiMax Development Forum. Many chip makers have announced they will support mobile WiMax applications in their devices.

A report entitled " Global WiMax infrastructure forecast for 2006-2011 " recently analyzed as follows: ' The development of this technology is due to the increasing utility of broadband in general. and due to major equipment vendors such as Motorola or Intel leading the way and stimulating market expansion. Investment in WiMax infrastructure will have the fastest growth in the wireless sector, up to $ 3.59 billion in 2011 and continuous growth at 31% / year . "

Motorola Vice President Dan Coombes added: ' In 2007, we will continue our efforts to market WiMax access points, PC cards and terminals . "Access point devices WiMax for Motorola's suppliers integrates MIMO antenna technology and radio frequency identification software (SDR) with the distributed IP system structure of the WiMax network, providing flexibility in network deployment and help Operators choose many third-party providers when they want to add more applications and services.
