Unlicensed Broadband Wireless (UBW) Service a $2 Billion Market by 2008
The annual recurring revenue for access services based on unlicensed
broadband wireless (UBW) technologies, currently at $250 million, will
approach $2 billion by 2008, according to
Unlicensed Broadband Wireless: Solutions and Applications, a new
research report from Parks Associates. Residential service revenue will
post the most dramatic growth, followed by the small enterprise (SME)
market, and the UBW market will have an overall compound annual growth
rate (CAGR) of approximately 50%.
“In the past two years, the proliferation of wireless ISPs and the
declining cost and improved quality of equipment have generated momentum
for this industry,” said
Yuanzhe (Michael) Cai, research analyst with Parks Associates.
“Looking forward, service providers will focus not only on expanding their
footprint but also increasing the take rate within existing coverage
areas. In the meantime, further declines in equipment costs will help more
WISPs justify their residential business plans. Also, the industry will
get a further boost around 2006 when real benefits from WiMAX
standardization start to materialize.”
Underserved markets in the U.S. still represent the low-hanging fruit
for service providers using UBW technologies, according to the report.
“Underserved market has great growth potentials. It should not be confused
with unserved market—areas with monopolistic and even duopolistic market
structures can be considered underserved markets as well,”
Cai
said. “Neither does underserved market necessarily indicate a rural
market; newly developed communities and urban edge markets are good
candidates for UBW services.”
