WiMAX Gains Traction But Needs VoIP

WiMAX, or Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is becoming a force in the wireless access arena, at least in parts of the world, reports In-Stat. By 2008, worldwide sales for WiMAX equipment will be billions of dollars, but over half of it will be for Customer Premise Equipment. WiMAX, a new form of Broadband Wireless Access (BWA), helps shift the economics of broadband to make it cheaper than ever to deploy. However, WiMAX providers will need to bundle wireless broadband services with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), so that consumers will save money every month, even though they are upgrading from dial-up Internet access to broadband.
