Will Mobile WiMAX Deliver Mobility?


LONDON, July 4 /PRNewswire/ --

- Frost & Sullivan to Host Quarterly Analyst Briefing on Mobile
Broadband Wireless Access Market on Wednesday 11 July 2007 at 15.00 BST.

Frost & Sullivan will host a conference call on Wednesday 11
July 2007 at 15.00 BST entitled "Will Mobile WiMAX deliver mobility?". This
live briefing will provide industry participants with an overview of the key
challenges for Mobile WiMAX and will explore whether this emerging technology
can create a significant impact on the mobile broadband industry.

A recently published Frost & Sullivan research service
provides in-depth analysis of various mobile broadband wireless access
technologies such as Mobile WiMAX, xMax and 3G LTE. The study evaluated
whether delays pertaining to Wave 1 and Wave 2 WiMAX Forum certification for
Mobile WiMAX and its inability to support mobile VoIP at vehicular speeds
could pave the way for other competing technologies to take over the mobile
broadband wireless access market.

This briefing is based upon ongoing Mobile & Wireless industry
analysis. The report provides an insight into the dynamics guiding this
market, and includes market challenges, drivers, restraints and avenues of
opportunity for growth. The briefing will discuss some of the key restraints
and challenges faced by Mobile WiMAX today and will focus on what this
technology can deliver compared to the initial hype. It will also provide a
roadmap for the kinds of services that Mobile WiMAX can deliver and the
initial client devices that the technology will be focused on. This call will
benefit to all Mobile WiMAX terminal vendors, service providers, chipset
manufacturers and equipment vendors.

"If Mobile WiMAX needs to be a competing technology to
existing well established technologies such as HSDPA and the future 3G LTE
standard, it is imperative that interoperability testing for Mobile WiMAX
complying to Wave 2 certification is done at the earliest as not many in the
market are interested in Wave 1 certification considering it does not include
MIMO and Beamforming, which is vital for Mobile WiMAX's success" says Luke
Thomas, Program Manager for Frost & Sullivan's Mobile & Wireless group.
