Intel, Wavesat, and Runcom's WiMAX Chipset Development Strategies

SUMMARY

The IEEE on February 28, 2006 announced the 802.16e-2005 standard, and WiMAX products started a transition from fixed broadband access to mobile broadband access. WiMAX chipsets are important links in overall WiMAX product development. Currently, several ODM makers of WiMAX equipment use WiMAX chipsets from Intel, Wavesat and Runcom. This report will analyze Intel, Wavesat, and Runcom's WiMAX chipset development strategies.
