對於寬頻無線技術而言，2006年將是極其重要的一年，預計採用ZigBee、超寬頻(UWB)和WiMAX的產品將大量湧現。這是市場研究公司Northern Sky Research (NSR)日前發表關於《寬頻無線市場：WiMAX、Wi-Fi、3G、4G、UWB與ZigBee技術展望》的報告中對於明年特別冀予厚望的看法。
報告指出，首批經過認証的802.16d WiMAX解決方案預計將於2006年中進行部署。再經過12到18個月的發展，預計到2006年底，WiMAX用戶將達到50萬用戶。在UWB方面，首批商用UMB產品將於2006年底在北美開始部署，PC和週邊設備應用則是開路先鋒。 至於ZigBee，首批具備ZigBee功能的產品將於2006年第一季在北美、歐洲和亞太地區展開，並率先針對家庭自動化和產業應用。NSR預計，到2010年，全球將部署5.8億個ZigBee元件。 NSR總裁Christopher Baugh認為，經過多年的規劃和努力，未來12個月內WiMAX、UWB和ZigBee將進入市場。這些新技術針對個人和都會區域接取網(metro access)市場，具有更高的性能，並可實現低成本和互通作業性。 值得一提的是，盡管MSR認可WiMAX甚至是UWB和ZigBee的潛力，但該公司仍然認為，就用戶規模、硬體銷售和服務收入而言，Wi-Fi、3G甚至是4G市場才是最大的市場商機。到2010年，全球3G用戶預計將達12億，因此未來5年，3G將是主要的寬頻無線技術。目前3G市場領先行動WiMAX達3年，隨著新型的3G技術(HSDPA/HSUPA/Rev.A/Super 3G和D-CDMA)的出現，這一趨勢還將加強。

ArrayComm now has a very powerful ally in its effort to promote its smart antenna technology in the new WiMAX standards. ArrayComm said this week that WiMAX Forum powerhouse Intel is collaborating with the next-generation antenna designer to include key components supporting smart antennas in the IEEE 802.16 standards. Intel has plans to incorporate ArrayComm's antenna technology into its 802.16e CPE chipsets, in an effort to increase range, capacity and coverage. But if the two succeed in getting their requirements incorporated into the standard, smart antenna support will be automatically built into all future WiMAX gear, opening up a far greater market for ArrayComm and other smart antenna-makers' technologies. ArrayComm is a dual vendor/technology company, building its own broadband wireless gear called iBurst, an IP-based mobile wireless system supplied to Kyocera and other vendors, and designing IntelliCell, a smart antenna baseband software that powers iBurst as well as numerous other vendors' broadband wireless and cellular radio systems. Intel has been striking up numerous relationships with vendors to jointly develop WiMAX technology, but its collaboration with ArrayComm is unique as they are focusing on a specific aspect of the 802.16 standard instead of jointly developing interoperable base station and CPE products. Intel's partnership with Alcatel appears to be the farthest along. An Intel spokeswoman said the two expect to release the first prototype 802.16e modular base station based on Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture next year.

（Intel）、高通（Qualcomm）等大廠聯手驅動下，未來全球無線通訊網絡架構已確立由3G、WiMAX與WLAN交錯羅織廣域與區域網絡。高通並統計，二○○八年WLAN產業規模將達四十億美元、WiMAX產值也將有六十億美元、3G產值估計更將有一千一百億美元，預料此趨勢將吸引越來越多台灣晶片設計公司湧入通訊產業。 根據高通與3GToday的統計，讓業界苦等多時的3G規格終於在今年有跳躍性成長。目前已有七十個國家中、一百五十八個3G運營商（Operator）提供商業化的3G系統服務，包括CDMA2000（韓國為首）的八十六個與WCDMA的六十八個等。據統計，全球3G用戶數已超過一億八千七百萬戶。根據多家研究機構的統計，二○○八年3G產值將達一千一百零五億美元，光是3G服務業規模就可達三千零八十六億美元，屆時用戶數也可望增加到七億八千五百萬戶。 由於在同樣頻率帶中，3G覆蓋率較WiMAX更佳，因此儘管3G與WiMAX均為廣域無線網路，兩者仍將互相支援。In Stat估計，WiMAX設備產值二○○八年將有六十億美元，由此延伸的服務業產值也將有十九億六千萬美元。不過高通也表示，WiMAX因標準訂定等因素、目前的發展進度似乎略較預期為慢，未來的性價比是否能為消費者接受也還是疑問。 至於強調室內無線通訊的WLAN，儘管規格已發展到802.11abg，但龍頭大廠博通（Broad com）認為，市場其實殷切期盼的是規格尚未底定的802.11n（最快明年下半年才會定案）。強調MIMO（多重輸出入）、QoS（服務品質）等特性，加上更大的傳輸頻寬，802.11n才能符合未來數位家庭同時傳遞影音多媒體與資料（data）資訊的需求。市場預期，WLAN產值在二○○八年將達四十億美元，公用WLAN服務業產值屆時也將達三十九億四千萬美元。

Nortel Unveils Fixed, Mobile WiMAX Strategy, New Strategic Relationships; Technology Designed to Deliver Lightning Fast Wireless Broadband Access 'Anytime Anywhere' TORONTO--(Sep 15, 2005) Nortel today announced plans to offer fixed and mobile WiMAX products based on the latest industry standards, and to work with WiMAX leaders Intel and Airspan Networks in bringing these products to market. These efforts are expected to complement work already underway with the LG-Nortel joint venture. Nortel's WiMAX products will be designed to allow wireless and wireline carriers, cable providers, media companies and other ISPs to deliver broadband connectivity to consumer and enterprise users by leveraging existing networks and 'last mile' wireless links. They will also complement and extend the reach of existing 3G cellular networks. WiMAX is a long-range wireless broadband access system that can deliver large amounts of bandwidth very economically. It will give businesses and consumers uninterrupted access to a rich variety of high bandwidth applications like networked gaming, streamed digital music, TV, videoconferencing, and other real-time services. Fixed WiMAX (IEEE 802.16-2004) is anticipated to operate in the 3.5GHz and 5.8GHz bands of spectrum and to deliver end-user data rates greater than 1 Mbps, comparable to many North American cable broadband and DSL connections. Mobile WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e) will initially operate in the 2.5GHz band and provide even higher speeds and the added convenience of 'anytime, anywhere' access. "We will be a technology leader in WiMAX, just as we have been with UMTS/HSDPA, CDMA, VoIP and wireless mesh," said Mark Whitton, vice president and general manager, WiMAX and Wireless Mesh Networks, Nortel. "Nortel is an expert in all the foundation technologies for both wireless and broadband, something we believe no other company can match." "Nortel's WiMAX solutions will be based on our years of experience building practical, profitable, leading-edge networks," Whitton said. "We're taking the best of what we've learned from our successful cellular, Internet, and voice businesses and combining it to create industry-advancing solutions designed to meet the growing demand for wireless broadband." "There is no denying the attraction of having automated broadband connectivity whenever and wherever you power up your laptop," said Phil Marshall, vice president, Wireless Mobile Technologies, Yankee Group. "Promising new technologies often fail, however, for lack of a viable business model or a weak value chain. Support of major networking companies like Nortel is a strong and positive sign that WiMAX intends to compete vigorously for its place in the industry." Nortel is collaborating with Intel to promote deployment of wireless broadband based on WiMAX. "As WiMAX-Certified products enter the market, cities and regions around the globe are planning for and deploying WiMAX networks," said Scott Richardson, general manager of Intel's Broadband Wireless Division. "We are very pleased to be working with market innovators like Nortel to develop and deploy end-to-end mobile broadband solutions for both businesses and individuals around the world." Nortel will work with Airspan Networks to market and evolve WiMAX solutions in the higher frequency bands for implementations that do not require full mobility. These solutions will also be used to eliminate the need for expensive wired T1/E1 or DSL circuits for wireless backhaul, creating a simpler path to profitability for service providers. "We are combining Nortel's wireless and mesh technology leadership and ability to execute large network build-outs with Airspan's market-proven WiMAX portfolio to provide high-speed access for people living in areas where access via cable or DSL may not be available," Whitton said. "Beyond that, Nortel will build on its key intellectual property and standards contributions in OFDM, MIMO, and wireless mesh networking to deliver mobile WiMAX products in time for trials in mid 2006. The key to an operator's success in WiMAX will be the real-world implementation of networks, an area where Nortel has vast experience and the resources to back it up." "Interest in our WiMAX portfolio is at a high level and continues to grow," said Eric Stonestrom, president and chief executive officer, Airspan Networks. "We are very pleased that Nortel, a recognized leader in wireline and wireless technologies, has chosen to add our WiMAX solutions to its product line. Nortel is already a leading supplier of switching and mobility products to many of the world's largest carriers, and together we can bring truly innovative access solutions to service providers across the globe." Nortel's optical backhaul technology, data networking solutions, and full suite of wireless services will be integrated with Airspan's WiMAX base transceiver stations (BTS) and subscriber terminals (ST). Nortel will work in the development of WiMAX/WiBro solutions based on the 802.16e standard though the LG-Nortel joint venture. Nortel's fixed WiMAX solutions are expected to be commercially available in Q1 2006. Nortel's WiBro solutions are scheduled for commercial availability following the 2005 field trial deployment in Asia with the LG-Nortel joint venture, with additional mobile WiMAX solutions set to be commercially available following the 2006 trials in North America. Nortel has contributed to the 802.16 standard by helping to develop underlying technologies like OFDM and MIMO for more than six years, and holds several key patents in these areas. In March 2004, Nortel completed a MIMO/OFDM lab demonstration of large data transfers with peak data rates at 37 Mbps over a standard 5MHz PCS band under conditions found on real-world cellular networks. Nortel is a member of the WiMAX Forum, an industry-led organization that promotes interoperability and certification of broadband wireless products for delivery of faster, more affordable data, voice and video services to businesses and consumers. ---- Incumbent Bezeq Pilots WiMAX Services in Israel Using Alvarion's BreezeMAX; Broadband Services Being Provided to Underserved Community in Negev Desert TEL AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 15, 2005--Alvarion Ltd.

CNET科技資訊網9月16日北京報道(文/張嵐)依舊得到了運營商和通信廠商的鼎力支援，依舊吸引了百余家媒體關注的目光。 不過，當3G在中國還始終是一個“可望而不及”的概念時，在持續熱論三年之後，走到第三屆“3G在中國全球峰會”無論是在標準、業務、技術、盈利模式上都很難再談出新鮮的內容了。 牌照是與會者唯一關心的問題。但沒有人能夠給出答案。資訊產業部副部長奚國華非常清楚大家的心思，“很多人可能關心的是什麼時候發、發幾張、怎麼發，現在還沒有一個結論，我今天不能說。等到一旦確定下來，我一定第一時間告訴大家。” “迎接”是今年“3G在中國全球峰會”的大會的宗旨。資訊產業部電信研究院院長楊澤民認為，“今天召開這次峰會就好像一次比賽已經到了發令槍響前後的時間。大家再去猜這個槍在哪一分鐘、哪一秒鐘響並沒有太大的意義，應該是仔細檢查一下自己跑鞋的鞋帶是不是係緊，自己跑鞋的鞋釘是不是鬆動，因為一旦槍響其他的賽跑者都會跑得很快。”他之所這樣打比方是認為，對於3G的到來，在政府、業務的運營商、設備的製造商還有很多需要進一步準備的地方。 資訊產業部電信研究院副院長曹淑敏認為，中國引入3G的時機基本成熟，但中國在引進3G的時候也要面臨很多挑戰。“首先，中國要在3G形成有效的競爭，而引入大的運營商在中國也是有很大風險的，包括投資上的風險以及未來競爭的風險；面臨的設備層面，特別是終端層面的挑戰也是巨大的；第三，3G本身也面臨著很多，比如網路的規劃優化、業務模式，終端等；以及未來在寬帶的網上VoIP的影響等。 TD—SCDMA依舊是寵兒 無論是信產部副部長奚國華還是科學技術司副司長張新生在本次論壇上再次高度肯定TD—SCDMA技術。 奚國華說，最近測試表明，TD—SCDMA的系統、終端、專用晶片在功能、性能、產業化等方面都取得了突破性的進展。張新生則表示，TD—SCDMA系統整體產業鏈也建立起來了，如果能在下一步的工作中繼續做好推動工作，TD—SCDMA將能夠在大家的努力下逐步得到市場的認可。 大唐電信科技產業集團董事長周寰表示，大唐TD—SCDMA商用化的準備工作已經基本完成。據悉，大唐已經開發了宏蜂窩基站、微蜂窩基站、射頻了遠大容量基站、直放站、幹放等系列產品，並針對未來3G運營所使用2G頻率的傳播特性，可視電話、多媒體與數據等3G業務特點以及國內不同環境、不同業務傳輸模型下落覆蓋的需求，形成了包含室內、室外的無線覆蓋解決方案，端到端的業務解決方案，網路運營服務解決方案，與2G網路融合的全方位解決方案，初步建立起了年產TD—SCDMA基站系統上百萬信道的產業規模，並具備進一步擴充產能的基礎。 據周寰介紹，TD—SCDMA系統建網與終端的綜合成本要比原2G系統低20%到30%左右。 視線轉向後3G 雖然至今3G時間表還是個未知數，但新技術的挑戰已經到來。資訊產業部電信研究院副院長曹淑敏認為，寬帶無線接入，尤其是具有移動性的無線接入技術正在形成一個新的分支，給傳統的行動通訊網帶來挑戰。 在新技術的壓力下，HSDPA和HSUPA的技術已經被引入到市場中，這在美國已經實現了大規模的商用網路。而行動通訊界更是提出了3G的長期演進E3G方向——LTG、AIE，據稱E3G將能夠提供100M甚至是100M以上的下行速率。曹淑敏表示，整體看無線通信領域，一方面移動在逐漸向寬帶化方向發展，而另一方面寬帶或者說固定寬帶向著越來越具有移動化的方向發展，這是一個非常明顯的趨勢，而且它們的目標是共同的，都是向著第3G或者是4G方向發展，支援更高的數據業務速率。 不過在部署的時間上，移動性的無線接入技術計劃是在2007年、2008年進入市場，而E3G是2010年進入市場。曹淑敏認為，到時將面臨著對3G發展的技術選擇和發展空間的探討。 中興通訊股份有限公司高級副總裁謝大雄認為，OFDMA＋MIMO技術應該作為3G的一個有機的補充。關於LTE、AIE、IEE只是不同的表現形式而已。

Want to know more about the WLAN and WiMAX markets? Forward Concepts has just published "Beyond Wi-Fi: 802.11n, VoWi-Fi & WiMAX" that provides an analysis of worldwide equipment and chip markets. The report features detailed forecasts through 2009 of all market segments, including access points (APs) and base stations (WiMAX), network interface cards (NICs), wireless router gateways (WRGs) and the chipsets enabling the entire WLAN and WiMAX networks. Units, average selling prices (ASPs) and total revenue are forecast for every market segment. "The growing WLAN market is a classic example of how a market can continue to expand as costs and prices ride down the learning curve, opening up new applications and market opportunities," says Carter L. Horney, author of the report. Specifically, in spite of a predicted 23-percent average selling price drop, worldwide shipments of WLAN equipment products will increase 6 percent to the $5.2 billion level in 2005. The report also predicts that WLAN equipment will continue growing at a higher rate in 2006 to the $5.9 billion level as new IEEE 802.11n and VoWi-Fi equipment is introduced and the infrastructure for traditional Wi-Fi expands. In the report, the WiMAX and pre-WiMAX equipment market (including both 802.16d and 802.16e) is forecast to grow from $72 million in 2005 to just over $2 billion in 2009, for an annual compound growth rate of 130 percent. Horney went on to say, "We view WiMAX as complementary to both Wi-Fi and 3G cellular. Fixed 802.16d systems can provide backbones for Wi-Fi hot spots where DSL or cable is unavailable or impractical. When emerging 802.16e provides a mobility WiMAX capability, it will augment the Wi-Fi infrastructure that will remain dominant for several years." Early views were that mobile WiMAX would be a threat to 3G, but now cellular equipment vendors such as Nokia are saying that WIMAX will be complementary. Preliminary analyses indicate that 802.16e data delivery costs can be significantly cheaper per megabyte than HSDPA or 1X EV-DO when provided as an overlay to a cellular network. Pure WiMAX chipsets, beginning with 802.16d-compliant fixed-operation units, are beginning to ship this year and revenues are estimated to be $5.4 million. However, mobility-capable 802.16e chipsets will begin sampling next year and the combined chip market is forecast to grow at a 209 percent compound annual growth rate to $489 million in 2009.

Some interesting Video (not voice) over WiMAX news from IBC Amsterdam for your Friday reading pleasure: WiNetworks Demonstrates Broadcast Quality Video Over WiMAX at IBC Exhibition in Amsterdam WiNetworks Inc. presented today an application of real-time streaming video over WiMAX integrated with an existing DVB infrastructure. The WiNetworks patented Hybrid WiMAX DVB (HWDV(TM)) technology creates a two-way broadband network with an always-on return channel for interactive TV services such as Video on Demand and interactive gaming and polling. The WiNetworks' solution enables the customer to order a streaming video from a typical DVB set-top-box. The request is transmitted in real-time to the DBS regional VoD server, over the always-on return channel provided by the WiMAX network. Once the IP video content is delivered through the WiMAX connection, the Hybrid WiMAX DVB (HWDV(TM)) technology converts it into the DVB format and delivers it to the existing set-top-box for customer viewing. The embedded QoS algorithm assigns higher priority to the video content over the other WiMAX-delivered data services allowing high quality viewing. The WiNetworks solution enables DBS operators to deliver Interactive TV and VoD over the large installed-base of customers' set-top-boxes eliminating the need for expensive equipment replacements. "There is growing competition on core TV service offerings, which is intensifying as a result of the overall shift to bundled, triple-play service offerings in the marketplace," says Anette Schaefer from the Yankee Group, "In order for DBS operators to remain competitive, they must offer triple-play services over their own networks. WiNetworks fills a gap by delivering a solution that enables DBS Operators to attach equipment to an existing infrastructure and immediately offer interactive services to their customers." WiNetworks' solution leverages the installed customer premise infrastructure (e.g., dish, existing coax wiring, existing STB, etc.). DBS operators are able to upgrade their one-way network to a two-way broadband infrastructure for a low CAPEX and a fast ROI. This eliminates the need for cooperating with other networks and creates a new revenue stream from interactive services such as VoD services, polling, gaming, local advertisement insertion, video conferencing, etc. "This first-time ever demonstration of VoD over WiMAX is a turning point for one-way network infrastructures," states Mr. Effi Atad, WiNetworks' CEO, "By capitalizing on the existing infrastructure to create a two-way broadband network and offer bundled Triple Play services with little investment costs, DBS operators are immediately equipped to compete with the new challenges in the market ". WiNetworks is presenting its fully-operational DBS Triple-Play solutions including VoD, Home Networking, and Multi-Tenant Unit solutions during IBC2005, Amsterdam, Sept. 9-13, Booth 3.324. < 前のページ次のページ >
