Global WiMAX Deployment Update According WiMAX Forum® Industry Research Report Review of April 2009, there are 472 total WiMAX deployments in 139 Countries (see the table below). It refers, in this case, to WiMAX networks that are either in service or planned/in deployment (i.e. base stations are being deployed, but there are few/no subscribers yet).
*Note: "Countries" in this case is representative of distinct telecommunications markets, and therefore this number may equal more than the total number of sovereign nations recognized by the UN. For example, Hong Kong and China have different regulatory structures, and are therefore treated as different markets. top |

WiMAX Testing and Certification Workshop WiMAX Forum CWG is planning to certify 100 notebooks and 50 base stations / mobile stations by 2009. Per a survey from WiMAX Forum MWG, 89% operators would require WiMAX Forum Certification for devices; 74% plan to sell WiMAX devices through general retail stores, including embedded netbooks, WiMAX dongles, dual-mode dongles and Wi-MAX / Wi-Fi CPEs. However, the industries have little comprehension on WiMAX certification program and cost; for example, the mobile WiMAX testing fee is not always as high as the hearsay that it is more than US$100M. The fee may be 1/7 ~ 1/3 of that of a new project if the manufacturers use a certified module, which is the most occurring case in Taiwan. The seminar will demonstrate 1) testing fee in different situation, 2) varied kinds of certification programs, 3) certification method for new and serial products, and 4) updates on WiMAX Forum. Attendees are expected to know how to certify their products efficiently, faster and economically. Welcome to join us!
