Abstract
This IDC study examines the worldwide semiconductor growth opportunities in the
rollout of WiMAX infrastructure, customer premise equipment (CPE), and client
devices. The year 2008 has been identified as the seminal year for WiMAX, based
largely on the rollout of WiMAX for mobile computing, which is expected in
2Q08. The infrastructure buildout and CPE products needed to support WiMAX are
also under way, with well over 200 worldwide deployments.
"The long-awaited evolution is taking place, and the next year will be quite
telling in providing the first hints as to consumers' ultimate interest and
acceptance of WiMAX." - Flint Pulskamp, Wireless Semiconductor analyst
