New technologies such as IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS) and WiMAX enable
one service provider to offer the equivalent of telephone service (landline
or mobile) data (T3, T1, DSL, cable modem, cellular broadband, fixed or
mobile) and video at a fraction of the infrastructure costs that incumbent
service providers (landline telephone, cable TV or cellular) have already
invested in their networks. How will incumbents compete? Where do investment
opportunities lie in terms of technologies that will be the pillars for
the next (and exponentially larger) telecom boom? This publication addresses
those issues and offers answers that are critical to incumbents and new
entrants as they consider significant investment in network upgrades, new
networks, applications and services. In this analysis, Frank Ohrtman evaluates
new technologies that will almost certainly force incumbent service providers
to invest billions into new infrastructure or face a massive market share
losses to new service providers or other service providers who do invest
in new technologies to offer an expanded range of services. |

WiMAX in the Enterprise: Access, Applications and Affordability
November 2007, 80 Pages
Single-user $ 495 Company-wide $ 1,995
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. |
