Abstract
WiMAX has an excellent opportunity to expand China' s market for fixed,
portable, and mobile broadband access. Though traction in the 802.16-2004
(fixed) market will be important, the real success of WiMAX in China will
depend on the much larger 802.16(e) market. This report evaluates market
potential for WiMAX in these applications, the technologies that will compete
with WiMAX, and the potential outcomes in China. The estimates for WiMAX
subscribers, base stations, and CPEs are provided for both conservative and
aggressive forecasts.
