Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) A way to bypass 3G?
Market Report, January 2005, 3000  €


Description

While the broadband boom continues worldwide and users demand increasingly mobile and nomadic solutions, the marriage of wireless and broadband would seem to be a win-win proposition.
But what are the realities behind the hype? Spectrum challenges remain a major factor: GSM, UMTS, 3G, etc.
• Breakdown by region - worldwide, Europe, Japan, South Korea, United States
• Frequency comparison
• 450 MHz
• 3G bands
• unlicenced bands In-depth look into BWA technologies:
• coverage capacity
• deployment costs
• data rate
• cell sizes
• QoS issues
• regulatory issues
• availability
• etc.
New and alternative technologies are helping a growing number of players compete for a piece of the BWA pie
• incumbent or new entrant?
• fixed or mobile operator?
• in developed or emerging countries?
• in urban or rural areas? Solution Scenarios : Which technologies for which service providers?
• Mobile operators (with 3G licences and without)
• MVNOs
• Fixed operators
• WISPs PROFILES & CASE STUDIES

5 . Solution scenarios

Strategies and actions for operators and equipment vendors

Potential strategies of mobile operators with 3G licences

• Waiting for HSDPA

• UMTS TDD, a natural complement to UMTS FDD

• Combine 3G with Wi.Fi/WiMAX

Potential strategies of mobile operators without 3G licences or MVNO

• Mobile operators holding a licence in the 450MHz or 700MHz bands

• Partnering with TDD service providers

• iBurst opportunity

Fixed operators and WISPs

• UMTS TDD an opportunity to provide mobile VoIP services for WISPs

• Fixed incumbents and fixed/mobile convergence
