Mind Commerce knows Broadband Wireless
We have the most comprehensive research available that evaluates the market
place, business drivers, and competition between the four major broadband
wireless technologies including WiMAX, WiFi, LTE, and general 4G wireless.
4G and
WiMAX for the Smart Grid: Enabling Access, Applications and Affordability
This research
indicates that given the dilemma of US Department of energy awarding billions of
dollars in smart grid grants while standards making bodies dither in providing
the industry with standards, the power industry should look to the latest and
greatest standards in telecommunications (Internet Protocol and 4G technologies
such as WiMAX) to take advantage of federal dollars available for smart grid
deployments while saving money on operating expenses. In addition, the
deployment of a 4G network would enable the utility to offer wholesale and
retail telecommunications services contributing new revenue streams for the
utility while shortening the Return on Investment (ROI).

Lessons Learned Round One
Grant writers
should focus on interweaving the disciplines of politics, engineering and
economics to build a balanced and convincing application. Applicants are also
cautioned to ensure all elements of their application cross check in terms of
financial, subscriber and build-out projections. Federal authorities estimate
the application requires 111 hours to compile, however, a successfully detailed
application might require more time. Those considering applying for grants or
loans in Round Two should not wait for Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA) to be
released. Some of the most time-consuming elements of the grant application
(Attachments C and G, for example) can be started at any time and attention to
detail here provides a foundation for rest of the application process. This
report also warns of administrative details that should not be put off to the
last minute thus causing a failure to make the application deadline.

spending is rural markets, 4G wireless technologies, associated vendors and
service providers will prosper ushering in The Next Telecom Boom
Wireless
Middle Mile Infrastructure Backhaul Solutions
It is imperative that WiMAX service providers build and maintain
their own "middle mile" infrastructure backhaul networks. This is especially
true of rural areas where the incumbent telephone company has the only "middle
mile" connection to the outside world. Any service provider that might pose a
competitive threat to the incumbent would be wise to avoid relying on that
incumbent competitor for their vital connection to an IP backbone

of Android and the Open Handset Alliance and identifies the key opportunities
and critical barriers facing the future evolution of this platform.
The WiMAX Business Plan contains over seventy pages
of high value content that will enable intelligent WiMAX investment and
deployment decisions. While there some documents on the market forecasting only
return on investment, this is the only WiMAX business plan available that will
allow the buyer to focus on the WiMAX-specific services that every enterprise
subscriber needs including specific industry verticals where the WiMAX pitch
should be a "one-call close". The plan contains the latest Wall Street
objections to WiMAX and how to defeat those objections. The plan provides
alternatives for both residential and enterprise-based business plans.
The WiMAX Business Planning Tool is an in-depth
working ExcelTM spreadsheet-based tool that provides a wide ranging set of
variables to be programmed into the spreadsheet including details related to
WiMAX parameters as well as VoIP and video delivery concerns. The tool allows
the WiMAX entrepreneur to make financial projections many years into the future
and will prove to be a valuable tool where investors may be asking the simple
question "How much money are we going to make?"
The WiMAX RFP is also the only one of its kind in distribution
having been used by WiMAX entrepreneurs and raising the comment from one global
vendor of WiMAX equipment "The good news was we were presented with a concise
and professional RFP, the bad news was we had to do so much work to provide an
accurate, professional response". Without this 14-page RFP, the WiMAX
entrepreneur may be hard pressed to ask the right questions of vendors which may
result in multi-million dollar mistakes over time. Given the early stage of the
WiMAX market and resulting confusion over new versions of the technology, this
WiMAX RFP provides the most valuable guide for dealing with vendors available.

Affordability
This publication
evaluates the deployment of a WiMAX network for an enterprise in terms of the
author's unique analysis methodology of the "Three A's of WiMAX deployment",
which are: Access, Affordability and Applications. Access refers to how an
enterprise employee might access the Internet or corporate intranet. Internet
skills are critical in the job market of 2007 and will be even more so in 2020.
Affordability means bringing wireless broadband internet/intranet access to all
employees may be surprisingly affordable. Compared to the telephone company's
T1, the cost per megabit per employee for WiMAX services is very competitive. In
terms of Applications, wireless broadband access and mobile computing come
together via WiMAX to offer the enterprise a range of applications limited only
by the imagination of enterprise leadership. This publication explores how WiMAX
will change enterprise telecommunications in terms of access, applications and
affordability. This matrix ultimately points to WiMAX holding a $36.4 billion
market in US enterprises telecommunications services by 2013.
