Experts close to the industry say that it is performance that is one of the key elements that sets WiMAX apart from other technologies and makes it unique. However, on the other hand a successful WiMAX deployment that delivers the services promised in a cost-effective way requires much more than a spectrally efficient, high-throughput, low-latency radio interface. Hence it is becoming increasingly important for operators to create a healthy wimax driven ecosystem in order to deliver mobile broadband for the end user community. And as next generation networks are getting laid, Wimax ecosystem is emerging to meet the demand from operators for efficient, cutting-edge network elements that together will create powerful end-to-end Mobile WiMAX networks, that are appropriate to the operator’s requirements and deliver fast and reliable mobile broadband to the end user community.

 

Globally, there is a very impressive collection of players which is working towards developing new solutions or adding support for WiMAX within their current solutions. Most of them have valuable experience in a specialized area and bring the necessary expertise to ensure that WiMAX operators hit the ground running. System vendors may have a background in Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) or cellular technologies; billing and provisioning companies and system integrators, in fixed or mobile telecoms; and content providers, advertisers, and application developers, in the media and software industry. It is important to note that as the ecosystem evolves and increases in complexity, it can be challenging for network operators to identify the best of breed for each network element because the landscape is still fragmented. And perhaps even more importantly they need to have assurances that the elements will be able to interoperate in their wimax driven network and that all the required system integration has been completed. Moving forward Wimax is set to increase its network footprint and deliver great mobility clubbed with broadband.
