Press Release Body = Mobile wimax equipment which utilize beam-forming and MIMO
technologies will become available towards the end of this year. Broadband wireless
deployments using pre-802.16e compliant equipment have already begun. In Korea both
KT and SK Telecom have implemented mobile broadband wireless networks in specific
locations throughout the country.

Sprint/Nextel are deploying an 802.16e compliant mobile wimax network which will
reach 100 million Americans by the end of 2008. BT will bid for 2.5GHz RF spectrum
in the Ofcom auctions which will take place towards the end of the year 2007.
Gaining such spectrum will allow the incumbent to deploy an efficient wimax service
and compete with companies such as Vodafone for triple play services. Cable
companies are gradually acquiring spectrum and are looking at distributing their
content to mobile devices. Greenfield operators are expected to utilize mobile wimax
technology in order to secure a 3G/4G market position by attracting consumers with
an early new level of service. Clearwire is such a carrier with operations in the
United States, Denmark, Belgium, Ireland and in Mexico (via MVSnet).

Equipment manufacturers are becoming increasingly active in mobile wimax. Vendors
such as Samsung, Nortel Networks, Alcatel and Nokia-Siemens Networks are all
involved in 802.16e projects globally. Motorola have just announced a major deal in
Pakistan. Companies that have been heavily involved in operator proprietary
broadband wireless implementations such as Alvarion and Proxim are also developing
802.16e compliant platforms. Various chipset providers such as Wavesat, Runcom
Technologies and Beceem Communications are developing OFDMA chips and are testing
their products for interoperability with solutions from other vendors. Dual mode
handsets will be very popular with mobile wimax deployments with GSM/OFDMA and
CDMA/OFDMA handsets dominating the market.

But there is confusion. Ericsson believe that by the year 2010 mobile wimax will
account for only 5-10% of global broadband wireless revenues and are therefore more
focused on broadband cellular technologies. Who is right? Availability of 2.5GHz
spectrum is crucial to the success of mobile wimax particularly throughout the
western world. In Europe HSPA is dominating the cellular market and this combined
with the current unavailability of 2.5GHz spectrum throughout most of the continent
is leading to little interest from mobile operators. In the U.S a lot of the 2.5GHz
spectrum is owned by Sprint. The carrier will start its deployment by using 10MHz
channels to deliver services and could use even larger bandwidths in the future.

Throughout the developed parts of the world technologies such as 3GPP LTE and HSPA
are expected to make a huge impact. HSPA operators will begin upgrading to LTE in
2009/2010 with subscribers exceeding 250 million by the year 2015. However as
Vodafone\'s Arun Sarin points out, LTE is still being deliberate by GSM standards
bodies, while WiMAX is available NOW.

This report not only discusses mobile wimax but also technologies beyond 3.5G (HSDPA
and EV-DO Rev A) such as 3GPP LTE and Ultra Mobile Broadband. Developments in the
core network as networks move towards fixed mobile convergence and the IMS are
analyzed. The market opportunities of fixed and mobile wimax technologies for each
geographical region are looked at in detail. The impact of LTE and UMB on markets is
also included in this report.

This report ensures you:

- Maximize your revenues from both business and and consumer Wimax and converged
services
- Segment your market effectively, targetting market expenditure where you will
achieve the best ROI
- Understand how Wimax, LTE and convergence will effect your revenues, subscriber
acquisition and retention
- Develop best practice strageties from peer case-studies
