So says, Broadband Unwired: New Opportunities in LMDS, High-Speed Fixed Wireless and Broaddband Satellites, a new report from Communications Industry Researchers, Inc., (CIR), a market research and consulting firm based here. However, the report goes on to warn that success in non-wireline broadband technology will require some careful targeting of market niches. According to Lawrence Gasman, President of CIR, some companies are becoming dazzled by sexy new technologies such as LMDS or broadband LEOs (Low Earth Orbiting Satellites), and are not paying enough attention to where these new high-speed unwired technologies can generate new business revenues.

"We believe that broadband satellite and wireless technology is very much a technology of the gaps," says CIR's Gasman. "Satellite and wireless will never be a serious contender where broadband wireline technology proves in. But the places where wireline won't work are common enough to make broadband unwired solutions quite viable."

Broadband Unwired: New Opportunities in LMDS, High-Speed Fixed Wireless and Broaddband Satellites sees major opportunities for LMDS and new satellite systems, such as Teledesic and Skybridge, in rural Internet access, telemedicine, distance learning, "desert start" industrial and commercial developments, and rapid infrastructure deployment in developing nations.

In addition to providing a penetrating analysis of the market drivers and opportunities for broadband satellite and wireless technology both in the U.S. and overseas, Broadband Unwired contains detailed ten-year forecasts of both CPE and network infrastructure markets, as well as in-depth profiles of all major vendors selling broadband wireless and satellite equipment including CPE, cell site equipment, other microwave radios and even the broadband satellites themselves.

The report also profiles the leading service providers including both the emerging providers of high-speed wireless alternatives -- companies such as WNP, Winstar and Teligent -- and broadband satellite projects, such as those planned by Hughes and Alcatel.

Satellite Launch To Boost DTH In India
Calcutta, India (SPX) Dec 28, 2005
The successful launch Thursday of India's heaviest satellite from spaceport of Kourou in French Guyana may have boosted the country's space research efforts to yet another level, but it has also lifted the spirits of at least three Direct-To-Home televisions broadcasters, one of which has been waiting for years to launch its services in India.
