Broadband Fixed Wireless Point-to-Multipoint Market 
Grows 5% in 3Q01 According to Dell'Oro Group

    REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Nov. 20, 2001 - Sales of Broadband Fixed Wireless (includes Point-to-Multipoint Base Stations and CPE) grew 5% Q/Q to nearly $138 million in 3Q01 according to a Dell'Oro Group report.

    Revenue growth during the quarter came from 26 GHz market, which grew 10% sequentially to $69 M. The less-than 11 GHz market was flat compared to 2Q01 at $58 M with strength in 2.4 GHz unlicensed and 2.5 GHz MMDS offsetting a decline in 3.5 GHz. The strength in 2.5 GHz MMDS however, is likely to be short lived as Sprint, the largest MMDS license holder, announced that it would stop accepting new customers for their fixed wireless service.

    The report focuses on Point-to-Multipoint Base Stations and Point-to-Multipoint Client/Network Termination Devices. Coverage includes details on market sizes and vendor market shares in each of the following areas of spectrum: 2.4 GHz (unlicensed), 2.5 GHz MMDS, 3.5 GHz, 5 GHz (unlicensed), 10.5 GHz, 24 GHz, 26 GHz, 28-31 GHz LMDS, and 38-39 GHz.
