The WiMAX chipset market continues to gain steady momentum. Mobile WiMAX has all but displaced fixed WiMAX in new deployment. Actual WiMAX networks, planned networks, and networks in development increase monthly. New devices drive the market as USB dongles and mobile PCs with embedded are available today, with WiMAX-enabled cellular handsets just around the corner.
WiMAX chipset technology has already moved beyond multiple chips, each with one specific function, i.e., a baseband processor chip and a separate RFIC, to a market where integrated single-chip solutions and modules are the vendor and manufacturer preference. A small group of semiconductor manufacturers have emerged as the WiMAX chipset leaders, changing the market landscape with innovative single-chip solutions.
