Abstract
Overview
WiMAX will change the way enterprises view telecommunications. Telecom
companies must service the customer in this new environment or some one else
will. Customers could start demanding lower prices, or they' ll turn to a new
WiMAX operator or set up their own private network using WiMAX equipment. The
technology gives businesses the ability to virtually manage their workforce
and add and remove new services and applications quickly.
This publication evaluates the deployment of a WiMAX network for an enterprise
in terms of the author' s unique analysis methodology of the "Three A' s of
WiMAX deployment", which are: Access, Affordability and Applications. Access
refers to how an enterprise employee might access the Internet or corporate
intranet. Internet skills are critical in the job market of 2007 and will be
even more so in 2020. Affordability means bringing wireless broadband
internet/intranet access to all employees may be surprisingly affordable.
Compared to the telephone company' s T1, the cost per megabit per employee for
WiMAX services is very competitive. In terms of Applications, wireless
broadband access and mobile computing come together via WiMAX to offer the
enterprise a range of applications limited only by the imagination of
enterprise leadership.
This publication explores how WiMAX will change enterprise telecommunications
in terms of access, applications and affordability. This matrix ultimately
points to WiMAX holding a $36.4 billion market in US enterprises
telecommunications services by 2013.
