Company J'son & Partnres Consulting presented the main findings of its first market research on mobile WiMAX, where in particular, examines the advantages and disadvantages of mobile WiMAX compared to other wireless technologies (HSPA +, LTE, etc.), explores the question of certification following specification standard 802.16m . and examines carrier and subscriber equipment. The survey mapped the general picture of the market development in Russia to date and forecast of its development until 2011.
In January 2006 he was the first release of the system profile for 802.16e, and held the first products certified mobile WiMAX. In March 2007, was published network specification version 1.0 WiMAX, in June 2008 was held mobile certification for a range of 2.5 GHz. It is expected that before the end of 2009, the working group IEEE 802.16 committee approves second edition of the standard Mobile WiMAX Rel.1.5 (802.16e Rev2). Further prospects of WiMAX related to the new version of the standard IEEE 802.16m (Mobile WiMAX Rel.2.0). It is an improved version of mobile IEEE 802.16e. Work on the IEEE 802.16m began in February 2007, approval is scheduled for 2011
Key frequencies for mobile WiMAX networks are the frequencies in the range of 2.3 GHz, 2.6 GHz and 3.5 GHz channel width is 10, 5 or 7 MHz. In 2008 it received a formal statement on the adoption of the standard IEEE 802.16, operating in the range 2,5 - 2,69 GHz, as a global standard. Frequency profiles for Mobile WiMAX Release 1.5. planned in the ranges 700, 1700, 2300, 2500 and 3500 MHz.
In the first half of 2008, the development of mobile WiMAX is not happening very rapidly. Many companies in doubt the future of this technology, which arose from the decline of general interest to the mobile WiMAX. Some vendors said the refusal of mobile WiMAX in favor of new technology LTE, and worldwide operators are increasingly interested. But in late 2008 and early 2009, a number of events that, according to J'son & Partners Consulting, will enable mobile WiMAX occupy a prominent place in the market.
First is to run a number of projects:
• In Russia: projects Yota (Moscow and St. Petersburg) and Comstar UTS (Moscow)
• United States: draft Sprint Xohm (Baltimore and Portland)
• And other projects
In mid-2009 there are more than 40 projects of mobile WiMAX.
Currently, the number of systems WiMAX Forum Certified (802.16e-2005 and 802.16d) exceeds 110. Projected WiMAX Forum in 2011 this figure will exceed 1000.
Following the 1 half of 2008, the number of items of equipment that supports mobile WiMAX, was less than 10 pieces, while at the end of 2008 their number had increased almost 4-fold. Greatest contribution to this growth came from companies such as Samsung, Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco Systems, Huawei Technologies, Motorola, NEC, and RedLine Telecommunications.
Russia has become one of the first countries which started to develop new technology to mobile WiMAX. Early drafts of mobile WiMAX in Russia appeared in autumn 2008. The development of new technology began with the Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Projects mobile WiMAX in Russia
According to the company J'son & Partnres Consulting in a horse in 2008 the service access to the Internet based on mobile WiMAX technology tested about 8 thousand people. The commercial launch of the first WiMAX network took place in January 2009 (Synterra), followed by running their networks Comstar UTS and Skartel.
J & P Consulting expects the subscriber base of services in Russia will grow to 460 thousand (60 times) by the end of 2009.
