Infonetics Research: Alvarion consolidates lead in WiMAX equipment market
(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) LONDON -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/30/09 --
Market research firm Infonetics Research released the 1Q09
edition of its WiMAX Equipment,
Devices, and Subscribers report. Highlights follow.
ANALYST NOTE
"Having grown at lung-busting speed for a couple of years, a slowdown and
pause for breath for the WiMAX equipment market probably would have been
inevitable even without the recession. As it is, economic conditions are
exacerbating the pause, with worldwide fixed and mobile WiMAX equipment
revenue down 16% from the previous quarter, and further declines expected
in 2Q09. However, for 802.16e, the decline is temporary: a positive growth
curve should start for the mobile WiMAX market toward the end of this year
and continue through 2010," said Richard Webb, Infonetics Research's Directing
Analyst for WiMAX, Microwave, and Mobile Devices.
WiMAX EQUIPMENT MARKET HIGHLIGHTS
-- For most of 2009, the WiMAX market is expected to suffer a slowdown in
network deployment, expansion, and user adoption, and delays to spectrum
availability
-- Fundamental drivers remain sufficiently strong to expect revenue
growth to return to the overall market by the end of 2009
-- Going into 2010, the WiMAX market is forecast to surge, based on a
buildup of postponed shipments
-- In 1Q09, EMEA and Asia Pacific are the hotbeds of WiMAX activity, led
by the Middle East, India, and particularly Africa
-- While the WiMAX market is predominantly driven by developing
countries, activity is increasing in developed markets as well, including
Clearwire's continuing deployment and availability of services, UQ in
Japan, and WorldMAX in the Netherlands
-- In 1Q09, Alvarion consolidated its overall WiMAX equipment revenue
share lead by migrating existing customers to 802.16e networks and winning
new business
-- Alvarion, Alcatel-Lucent, Motorola, Huawei, Cisco, and Samsung
represent the major forces in the worldwide WiMAX market, with over 100
publicly announced mobile WiMAX customers between them
