WiMAX Spectrum
Middle East & Africa
• Equipment vendors & WiMAX Forum aligning on 2.5, 3.5 &
5.8GHz for Fixed and 2.5GHz for Mobile
• Standardisation drives volume up, which drives price down
• Spectrum regulation takes time and is waiting for European
Commission decision on 2.5GHz

• Challenge
– Open spectrum for fixed and mobile WiMAX
• Opportunity

– Lead spectrum policy and the EC

14
WiMAX Deployment
Middle East & Africa
• Lack of copper infrastructure make Fixed WiMAX an ideal
broadband technology
• Broadband connectivity enables Education, Healthcare, e-
Government, Communication etc.

• Challenge
– Deploy Fixed WiMAX today and enable connectivity and new
services
– Lay the groundwork for Nomadic and Mobile WiMAX
• Opportunity
– Lead Euroland in WiMAX deployments

15
Intel’s value add
• Leading force in WiMAX efforts : IEEE,
WiMAX Forum, Silicon, Ecosystem etc.
• Working to enable Spectrum for WiMAX
• Driving initiatives in Digital Health,
Education, Government Assisted PC
Purchase etc.
• Intel Capital has a focus on WiMAX
investments

Summary
Commercial WiMAX deployments
are a reality TODAY

Challenge = Opportunity
