As China Hosts WiMAX Summit, ABI Research Defines the WiMAX Case.OYSTER BAY Oyster Bay, uninc. area (1990 pop. 6,687) of the Town of Oyster Bay, Nassau co., SE N.Y., on N Long Island, on Long Island Sound; settled 1653. It is chiefly residential. , N.Y. -- If further evidence of China's headlong engagement with the world's major communications markets were needed, last week's Global WiMAX Summit and the WiMAX Forum Plenary Meeting, held concurrently in Beijing, should be a sign. Companies demoed interoperable WiMAX solutions, and by the end of 2005, said Ron Resnick, president of the WiMAX Forum, the first group of WiMAX Forum Certified(TM) fixed network products for basic outdoor interoperability will become available. The event's combined attendance of about 2500 was a further sign of WiMAX's continuing market momentum around the world, and of China's immense potential for both supply and demand.

Alan Varghese, ABI Abi (ā`bī) [short for Abijah], in the Bible, King Hezekiah's mother. (Application Binary Interface) A specification for a specific hardware platform combined with the operating system. Research's principal analyst of semiconductor research, a nagging question remains: do we really need both cellular communications and WiMAX? They meet many of the same needs. What makes the WiMAX case? "Is it about spectral efficiency Spectral efficiency or spectrum efficiency refers to the amount of information that can be transmitted over a given bandwidth in a specific digital communication system. ?", he asks, "or about end-to-end IP, data rates, cellular network congestion In data networking and queueing theory, network congestion occurs when a link or node is carrying so much data that its quality of service deteriorates. Typical effects include queueing delay, packet loss or the blocking of new connections. , or operator spectrum strategy?" When thinking about WiMAX vs. cellular, says Varghese, "The danger is in thinking only in terms of technology and technical advantages. But in the real world, forces such as industry leverage, company influence and competitive strategy play just as strong a role when one technology is not vastly superior to another. So WiMAX will continue to unfold around the world, and those who acknowledge this fact can make it a complementary technology; others will find competition in their backyard." This and many other issues are addressed in ABI Research's study, WiMAX Semiconductors, which examines WiMAX chipset vendor strategies, architectures for RF and baseband, power consumption, ASPs, chipset availability, roadmap, and total WiMAX BOM cost. It also forecasts chipset shipments and revenues by geographic region, and by end-use segment.
