Interpretation of WiMAX survival status
Recently, InfoneTIcs Research released its market share and forecast report for WiMAX equipment, equipment and users in the fourth quarter of 2009. InfoneTIcs Research analyst Richard Webb said that the WiMAX market is recovering strongly from the economic recession, and 802.11e equipment and equipment sales revenue has grown for three consecutive quarters. American Clearwire has released strong quarterly revenue results. Russia ’s Yota has expanded rapidly, and other companies such as UQ in Japan have also grown strongly. The WiMAX business model seems to be working.
The WiMAX market is recovering strongly from the economic downturn. The challenge of WiMAX is how to seize opportunities, rather than plague external factors. As far as the current situation is concerned, 802.16m and LTE technologies will become the final 4G standard.
How about the overall performance of WiMAX at all levels of business, technology and ecology, Wang Xuejun, Global Marketing Director of WiMAX Forum, accepted an exclusive interview with reporters.
Strong recovery in the commercial market
The WiMAX market is recovering strongly from the economic downturn, and 802.11e equipment and equipment sales revenue has increased for three consecutive quarters. What is the overall commercial situation of mobile WiMAX?
Wang Xuejun: Compared with the early fixed WiMAX technology (802.16d), mobile WiMAX is commonly known as 802.16e. I think that the mobile WiMAX, fixed WiMAX, or nomadic WiMAX you usually mention is just a use mode of WiMAX. It does not make much sense to emphasize too much mobile WiMAX or other use modes. Because mobile WiMAX is not necessarily used to provide so-called mobile services (MobileService), the services provided by operators through mobile WiMAX are also multi-directional, such as common home broadband services or broadband services in a mobile environment. Regarding the commercial situation of 802.16e, there were more than 90 new WiMAX networks in the world in 2009, 68% of which were 802.16e, which shows a trend. Now if operators choose WiMAX technology to build a network, whether it is for mobile users , Nomadic users, or fixed users, 802.16e has become its preferred technology. This is mainly due to the relatively mature ecological environment of 16e, which is currently in the mature stage of technology and industrial chain, and 16d can be said to be an early technology, which has passed the mature stage. In addition, currently distributed in 559 WiMAX networks in 147 countries around the world, I estimate that the proportion of 16e occupies at least about 40%.
American Clearwire has released strong quarterly revenue results. Russia ’s Yota is rapidly expanding, and Japan ’s UQ and other companies are also growing strongly. What are the reasons that affect the development of WiMAX in various regions?
Wang Xuejun: The main premise of WiMAX development is frequency spectrum, which includes the distribution of spectrum and the way of spectrum usage. The differences in spectrum policies in various regions also determine the inconsistency of WiMAX development in various regions. For example, in North America, the 2.5GHz, 3.5GHz, and even lower frequency spectrum has been demarcated a long time ago, and the spectrum itself is not related to the technology. It is up to the operator to decide which technology to use in the spectrum. On the contrary, some countries have regulations on the use of spectrum technology. For example, in Japan, the 2.5GHz spectrum used by WiMAX operator UQ is directly linked to WiMAX, and the government requires WiMAX to be used. In addition to the spectrum just mentioned, the country ’s perception of “broadband†is also a major factor in the development of WiMAX in the region. In many countries, especially developing countries, such as India, Malaysia, Brazil, and Mexico, it is believed that the development of broadband will greatly promote the country's GDP. According to research, in developing countries, every 10% increase in broadband penetration rate will contribute about 1% of its GDP, which is quite impressive. Therefore, many developing countries will regard the development of "broadband" as an important link in national economic development. And the current broadband penetration rate in many developing countries is very low, so the government hopes to use WiMAX technology to promote its rapid development. Third, in economically developed areas, the government ’s economic stimulus plan will also have a certain impact. For example, a few days ago, the United States specifically set aside 7.2 billion US dollars to develop the broadband business itself in China to meet the coverage of broadband services in the suburbs. Among them, WiMAX accounts for 25% of budget applications in the US economic stimulus plan funds. In general, spectrum policies, national attitudes to broadband, and economic stimulus policies issued by the government are the main reasons that affect the development of WiMAX in various regions.
WiMAX is developing rapidly. What are some outstanding cases?
Wang Xuejun: There are many commercial cases of rapid development of WiMAX. For example, Clearwire in the United States currently covers 30 million people in the United States, with 600,000 users, and is currently vigorously developing its 4G network. It is also preparing to invest in the construction of a new WiMAX network in Singapore; Yota in Russia currently has 350,000 users, and it not only provides broadband access, but also provides many innovative services in content; GlobalTelecom in the Philippines is also one of Huawei ’s customers. There are currently more than 60,000 WiMAX users, and it should be noted that it is a mobile operator with 30 million GSM users. But it should also be noted that in terms of the total number of users, WiMAX is still very small, about 10 million in the world, but the WiMAX network has covered 63 million people.
Double entry of technology and ecological environment
What are the latest developments and significance of WiMAX Release2, 802.16m standard?
Wang Xuejun: There is a difference between 802.16m and WiMAX Release2, but it is not an essential difference, because WiMAX Release2 will be completely based on 802.16m. 802.16m has been submitted to the IMT-Advanced of the ITU by the IEEE 802.16 working group, and the WiMAX Forum fully supports the evolution of this technology. I think the biggest significance is that 802.16m will be backward compatible, which is the main feature, thereby reducing the network construction cost and risk of operators.
What are the achievements and goals in the process of applying for 4G?
Wang Xuejun: In the process of applying for 4G, the WiMAX Forum and more than 50 member companies supported the IEEE802.16m application for the ITU 4G standard. It has entered the final review stage and the work is progressing smoothly. Many proposals are based on ITU Time required to complete. As far as the current situation is concerned, 802.16m and LTE technologies will become the final 4G standard (ITM-Advanced). At present, the goal of the WiMAX Forum is to continuously improve and formulate the final WiMAXRelease2 standard to meet the relevant technical requirements of 802.16m and IMT-Advanced, while achieving backward compatibility with WiMAXRelease1 based on 802.16e.
Finally, please summarize the overall survival of WiMAX.
Wang Xuejun: Of course, we also see the problems currently faced by WiMAX. On the whole, it is mainly due to insufficient users. The 802.16e ecosystem has been developing rapidly since 2005 until the end of 2008. I think WiMAX will have a place in the telecommunications market. Many people compare WiMAX with CDMA. I personally think that this view has two sides. It is true that WiMAX has not been regarded as a mainstream technology. Many large mobile operators have not adopted WiMAX. Of course, there are many reasons, so I will not repeat them here. However, it should be noted that 115 mobile operators have adopted WiMAX, which means that if you want to find a new revenue growth point, WiMAX can bring certain benefits and can be used as a display of differentiated operating advantages. Whether WiMAX is suitable for every mobile operator, or every telecom operator, this is still a question mark. I think every operator should do a research to determine whether WiMAX is suitable for him.
From the perspective of the industry chain, WiMAX technology is becoming more and more mature, especially the terminal, we can see WiMAXUSBDongle that supports 2.3GHz, 2.5GHZ and 3.5GHz in the market, commonly known as iMAX; Intel has also made It supports 2.3GHz, 2.5GHZ and 3.5GHz chips for assembly on notebook computers; other manufacturers have also produced various chips that can be used as multi-mode terminals. It is believed that more multi-mode terminals will appear in 2010. As the number of user terminals grows, costs decrease, functions increase, and spectrum expands, the market will develop rapidly. From this perspective, the challenge of WiMAX is how to seize the opportunity, rather than troubled by external factors. Finally, I think the opportunity for the development of WiMAX in China is very big. The key is the spectrum environment, whether WiMAX is allowed to be used by operators. I think it should be left to the operators to let them choose their own technologies.
The traditional glass neon tube investment is high, using glass tubes, high-voltage electricity and inert gas, making the production process complicated. The flexible neon lamp adopts a new structure and LED technology, and the special PVC shell is coated with LEDs, which increases the intensity and uniformity of light.
