SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE [2])--Mobile WiMAX will outpace LTE over the next few years due to its head start on deployments, reports In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com [3]). Mobile WiMAX already has commercial deployments, while LTE won't be commercially available until late 2009. However In-Stat believes WiMAX and LTE will take very different paths.
"Most of the operators looking to deploy WiMAX come to it from the fixed network space. These operators are looking to use WiMAX as an enhanced DSL service. Enhanced DSL will combine both the fixed broadband service with some form of nomadic coverage," says Daryl Schoolar, In-Stat analyst. "Most of the early operators supporting LTE come from the mobile space. These operators want to use LTE to increase capacity and peak rates on their existing mobile networks."
