NEW YORK (WiMAX Day). According to a recent report by market research firm ABI Research, worldwide shipments of wireless broadband-enabled mobile devices will reach 50 million by 2012. This growth will fuel WiMAX in its eventual gain over 3G services. The report concludes “In the longer-term, WiMAX has more potential than cellular-based connections for these devices,” because it is based on IP and provides a simple architecture with superior Internet connectivity.
