    Gilbert, AZ, October 22, 2002 - BWE Research Services, the research arm of Broadband Wireless Exchange, Inc., today announced the availability of a new research report on the Broadband Wireless industry entitled the "Broadband Wireless 2003 Forecast."

    The Broadband Wireless Forecast Surveyed over 1,100 End Users, Entrepreneurs, Industry Influencers, Investors, Traditional Service Providers, Vendors, Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) and others in order to amass the most comprehensive database of information available on planned budgets and purchases for broadband wireless products and services over the next 12-18 months.

"The Broadband Wireless industry continues to grow at a rapid rate," said Robert Hoskins, Broadband Wireless Exchange, Inc.’s President and CEO.  "While many companies in our industry are still in startup or early build out stages of their network deployment, the latest research shows that entrepreneurs, existing service providers and investors have big plans for utilizing broadband wireless technology in 2003."

In addition to planned budgets and services, the 500-question survey collected detailed information on which spectrum category operators plan to utilize, the size of the network they plan to build, what types of antennas and radios they plan to buy, and the types of consulting services they will be seeking in order to build out their broadband wireless networks.

The report also provides other valuable information for business planners, researchers and investors that are trying to make strategic decisions for entering or making investments in the broadband wireless sector.  For example, respondents answered questions related to planned subscriber counts, the locations planned for new networks, how many cells were planned to be added, how operators plan to fund their networks and the broadband competition, if any, operators would be facing in their towns and cities.  The report even details the speeds of the services planned, complete with pricing information.
