Maravedis WiMAX Forecast Ranks the Russian Federation Among the Top Five Opportunities in the World
Maravedis Research announced a new research report
entitled the "Russian Federation Broadband Wireless
and WiMAX Market Analysis and Forecast 2006-2010,"
which details the golden opportunities now present
within the Russian Federation for BWA and WiMAX
wireless products and services.
The new 100-page report, the second of a series
that includes reports on Brazil and India, provides an in-
depth review of the broadband wireless and WiMAX
markets and regulatory activity taking place in Russia.
The Russian economy is flourishing and demand is
quickly outpacing the supply of the telecommunications
services provided by legacy wired telecommunication
infrastructure built during the communist era. For
example, more then 70% of Russia households do not
have access to fixed wired telephone services. Instead,
customers have flocked to cellular phone carriers,
which have built a tremendous infrastructure of cellular
towers to provide service to more 130 million customers
or 90% of the Russian population.
The same trend is predicted for broadband wireless
Internet access services, such as WiMAX, that will
provide high-speed data services over a wireless data
infrastructure. Small- to medium-sized businesses
realize the potential of websites and doing business
online via the Internet in order to reach the worldwide
economy. Since 75% of Russian households can not get
basic dial-up Internet access, wireless Internet service
providers (WISPs) are expected to break open the large
pent up demand for broadband Internet connections.
"There is huge potential for broadband wireless
Internet and voice-over-IP services in Russia because
there are still more than 40,000-50,000 towns and
villages with no basic communications services,"
explained Maravedis' Russian and Ukraine Senior
Analyst, Artur Mironenko. "And, as the economy keeps
improving, not only do customers want high-speed
connections, but in many areas they now have the
household budgets to pay for high-speed Internet
access."

| WiMAX is Catalyst for Broadband Wireless Access in Asia-Pacific | | |  Worldwide interoperability for microwave access
(WiMAX) has invigorated broadband wireless access
(BWA) as a viable solution to address the increasing
digital connectivity needs in the Asia Pacific region. At
the same time, disparate economic, geographical and
regulatory conditions across the region have led to the
contrasting pace and development of WiMAX in these
diverse markets.
New analysis from global growth consulting
company Frost & Sullivan, WiMAX Growth Opportunities
in Asia Pacific, reveals that revenue in the WiMAX
services market -- covering 12 major Asia Pacific
economies -- is forecasted to total USD 165.3 million
by end-2006, and could reach USD 5.4 billion in 2010. Click here for the full Frost&Sullivan WiMAX Research Story! | | |
| Fujitsu Finalizes Acquisition of Intellectual Property for WiMAX Products | | |  Fujitsu Microelectronics America, Inc. (FMA) announced
that it has completed the acquisition of Wi-LAN's IP
Division. This acquisition includes Wi-LAN's entire
technology development division, including all 802.16d-
like, standards-based MAC and PHY technologies.
Fujitsu Microelectronics has also employed a large
group of highly skilled engineers from Wi-LAN and
formed a new wholly owned subsidiary, Fujitsu
Microelectronics Canada Inc., in Calgary, Canada.
"Since partnering with Wi-LAN in 2002, Fujitsu has
leveraged WiLAN's OFDM technology in the
development of our IP cores," said Kazuyuki Kawauchi,
president and CEO of Fujitsu Microelectronics
America. "This acquisition reinforces Fujitsu's
commitment to the WiMAX market, and is also good
news for our customers and prospects, who are
embracing WiMAX and the Fujitsu SoC as standards of
excellence in broadband wireless access. Click here for the full Fujitsu WiMAX story! | | |
| Cree Introduces GaN HEMT to Broaden WiMAX Power Transistor Options | | |  Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE) announced sample
availability of its new 15-watt packaged gallium nitride
(GaN) high electron mobility transistor (HEMT), the
CGH35015, which is optimized for broadband wireless
access and for WiMAX applications operating between
3.3 GHz and 3.9 GHz. GaN HEMTs offer higher linear
power and enhanced efficiency performance over wider
bandwidths than traditional technologies such as silicon
LDMOS or GaAs.
The CGH35015 typically produces 2.5 watts of
average output power and 20 percent drain efficiency
over the frequency range of 3.3 to 3.9 GHz. It features
11 dB of small signal gain and 2 percent error vector
magnitude (EVM) under orthogonal frequency-division
multiplexing (OFDM) modulation when operated at 28
volts. Click here for the full Cree WiMAX story! | | |
| SR Telecom Wins WiMAX Contract From Duke Energy | | |  SR Telecom Inc. (TSX: SRX) announced the first order
of a multi-year contract with Duke Energy. Duke Energy
is a Fortune 500 corporation traded on the New York
Stock Exchange under the symbol DUK. Duke Energy
Gas Transmission is a North American leader in

connecting major natural gas supply sources in growing
markets.
"We have been very pleased with the performance
and reliability of our existing SR Telecom solutions. We
are enthusiastic about advancing to the symmetryMX
fixed-WiMAX solution offered by SR Telecom", said John
Foss, Senior Telecommunications Specialist, of Duke
Energy. "The symmetryMX solution will enable us to
enhance our monitoring and control functions in a cost-
effective manner. This will yield substantial operational
efficiencies and improve our business metrics."
