The Wireless Wonder- The Wave of the Future

The fixed wireless broadband market is estimated to explode. A recent study by the Strategis Group indicates that global service revenues from fixed wireless broadband systems are projected to reach $16.3 billion by 2004 — a compound annual growth rate of a staggering 140 percent.

The key to making these wireless markets a reality will rest in the ability to overcome limitations of current fixed wireless technology to effectively compete in the mass market with broadband DSL and cable.

Scalability and cellular architecture will be a primary focus of improvement along with newly designed customer premise equipment (CPE) allowing more effective monitoring and control functionality for the wireless provider in order to increase bandwidth efficiency and utilization. Currently too many service providers have inefficient networks allowing for too much unused bandwidth. An efficient broadband network would only compound this problem and accentuate the inefficiencies thus reducing profitability. Unisyn is committed to integrating new generation fixed wireless technology with new generation software management functionality. The two must go hand in hand to reach the final goal of competitive last mile cost with DSL and Cable.

Requirements To Compete With DSL and Cable

In order to accomplish the goal of effectively competing with DSL and Cable, the broadband wireless service provider must be able to deliver a broadband access product that allows multiple choices for bandwidth usage with flexible pricing plans. Fixed rate pricing as well as Burstable rate pricing must be a part of the billing package in order to efficiently manage and sell bandwidth profitability. The CPE (Modem) must be easily deployable and reliable in order to reduce truck roll costs and future handling. Installations need to be simple and quick.

Service Providers need to be familiar with new age applications requiring broadband such as video conferencing, game playing, medical, government and other commercial and consumer products to come. Unisyn is constantly researching new age bandwidth intensive products for service providers to consider for re-sell to their customers and subscribers.
