Wi-Fi to hold its own against WiMax 'past 2009'
Published: 09 Mar 2006 17:00 GMT
Revenues from WiMax equipment are set for impressive growth, analysts report, but will continue to lag behind those from Wi-Fi.
Research company Infonetics predicts WiMax will reach revenues of $142m (£81.7m) this year, shooting up to $1.6bn by 2009.
While the milestone is an important one for the long-range broadband technology, revenues from WiMax pale in comparison to those from Wi-Fi, which jumped 10 percent year-on-year to reach $2.4bn.
Infonetics expects the Wi-Fi market to be worth $3.9bn before the end of the decade, largely driven by the enterprise segment, which will see a 120 percent jump in revenue between 2005 and 2009.
