Vodafone Joins WiMax Forum

Vodafone Group PLC doesn't want to miss out on the next big wireless technology, no matter what it is.
The mobile phone operator, one of the world's largest, announced Thursday its decision join the WiMax Forum, which is busy working on standards and specifications for a new generation of ultra-fast broadband wireless communication services.
WiMax technology, in particular the new mobile variant currently under development, is viewed as a wireless Internet alternative to the cellular-based LTE (long term evolution) technology supported by numerous mobile phone operators -- including Vodafone.
"We are technology neutral," said Vodafone spokesman Mark Street. "We're interested in both WiMax and LTE. Our decision to join the forum is about being in a position to take advantage of future technology opportunities."
As a forum member, Vodafone hopes "to play a role in shaping end-to-end specifications," Street said.
At the 3GSM World Congress earlier this year, Vodafone CEO Arun Sarin raised a few eyebrows when he told an auditorium full of mobile phone executives that the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) community is moving too slowly on defining an LTE standard and that the industry needs to move faster before others eat its lunch. He urged mobile phone operators to prepare for an eventual paradigm shift.
"Vodafone is hedging its bets," said Sara Harris, senior analyst with Strategy Analytics Ltd. "No one really knows yet what LTE will be, unlike WiMax, which is here and real. Vodafone clearly doesn't want to be left behind."
Alex Green, market research director for wireless at IMS Research, agrees. Time to market, he wrote in a comment, could be a compelling reason to deploy mobile WiMax systems, based on the IEEE 802.16e standard. The systems "are for the large part available now, although not yet certified," he wrote.
WiMax is expected to open the door to a new generation of wireless operators that aren't shackled by legacy voice-centric, circuit-switched networks but rather equipped with all IP (Internet Protocol) packet-switched technology designed to satisfy demands of data hungry users.
With its new HSPA (high-speed packet access) networks, Vodafone expects to meet demand for mobile broadband services for the next five years, according to Street.
The company's strategy is to be a supplier of both fixed and mobile broadband wireless services, he said.
Vodafone participated in a recent LTE test, and in June, it deployed its first WiMax network in Malta, according to Street.
In addition to the WiMax deployment in Malta, Vodafone is observing how the technology is being tested by partners in France and Bahrain, he said.
The U.K. company may choose to offer WiMax in developing markets such as India and LTE in more developed markets, according to Street. "We've made no decision; we'll look at each market individually," he said.
The prospects for WiMax to play a key role in the future development of mobile services "are better in those parts of the world where large numbers of people do not yet have access to [telephones] or the Internet," John Delaney, a principle analyst at Ovum Ltd., wrote in a research note.

Intel Capital投資日本WiMAX業者4,300萬美元

Intel全球投資部門(Intel Capital)宣布將投資4,300萬美元UQ Communications，這是日本一家致力於WiMAX行動服務的公司。
UQ Communications預估到2012年底，將會有9成以上的日本人口使用它們的服務。
UQ Communications最近正在東京的23個行政區、橫濱、川崎，以及東京國際機場等處進行WiMAX服務測試。UQ Communications表示將在7月1日開始，正式啟動UQ WiMAX服務。
Intel全球投資部門總裁暨Intel執行副總Arvind Sodhani表示，Intel全球投資部門會投資UQ Communications正代表著Intel正在落實最重要的允諾之一：發展WiMAX在全球的產業生態鏈。而UQ在日本部署WiMAX網路是一項相當將科技創新落實在民眾生活的重要實例。
除了資金的挹注之外，Intel表示將與UQ一起擴展與PC製造商與行動網路電信業者的合作關係。此合作的目的是要強化全球對於WiMAX技術的關注，並擴大WiMAX的產業生態鏈。
Intel近年來積極投入WiMAX的市場，包括與多家從事電腦運算與溝通的製造商緊密合作，將合作夥伴的產品內建支援WiMAX的晶片組；也投資了全球各地多家服務提供者建立與部署WiMAX網路。時至今日，已有將近460個WiMAX網路部署在全球135個國家。

台灣固網業者那麼多家
都不努力一點
這也是很無奈啊
像閣下愛用的大同電信
每個站台的後端線路
可都不便宜呢
想想看,大家都要跟閣下一樣跑6M/2M的
一個站台不用多,10個user就好
上下100M 固定IP的SDH線路
嘖嘖嘖
不管是中華 台固 速博 亞太
那一條可都是嚇死人的貴呢
而且,上述業者都有自己的行動通訊業務
當然是自己人優先供裝
說真的,講這些不是唱衰
未來不管什麼系統,在台灣都會遇到這些問題
雖說看起來好像不關end user的事
長期來看還是有影響的
