The WiMAX Forum® today highlighted activity in the
burgeoning Indian market to illustrate the power of WiMAX™ technology and
its meaningful effect on emerging markets. The first commercial technology
specifically optimized for mobile broadband, WiMAX provides a scalable,
cost-effective solution that is the strongest candidate to provide high-speed
broadband internet across India. Given its true broadband performance
capabilities, early availability, cost advantages, government support and
the upcoming auctions relating to the 2.3/2.5 GHz frequency bands, the
WiMAX Forum projects the Indian WiMAX market including devices will be
worth $13 billion (52,000 crores) in 2012. This market projection
takes into account 27.5 million WiMAX users, or 19 million WiMAX
subscribers in 2012. more...
