WiMAX has gained immense support from vendors such as Alvarion and Samsung, who are seeing enormous opportunity in this market, owing to its operational flexibility. This has, in turn, increased its popularity, thereby driving this market towards lower prices, promising gradual ease in economies of scale. The operators have wide flexibility in terms of operable bandwidth (spectrum), duplexing techniques (FDD and TDD), and portability options.

In terms of unit shipments, the 3.5 GHz band is the most preferred one globally, as it is suitable for fixed broadband. As WiMAX was initially deployed for fixed broadband, most of the deployments and equipment were made in the 3.5 GHz band; as such higher frequency bands are preferred for fixed broadband. With the rising need for enhanced portability and mobility, WiMAX is now revolutionizing its way through the mobile space, hence enforcing regulators worldwide to make lower bands such as 2.3 GHz available for auctions.
