Canadian market research company, Maravedis has launched WiMAXCounts, the industry's first online database and service dedicated to tracking and analysing WiMAX deployments worldwide.

It promises to provide key information on applications, service offerings, ARPU, pricing, target markets, subscribers and deployments worldwide.
"As an emerging technology, the WiMAX industry lacked a bottom-up tool to track vital network deployment data," said Adlane Fellah, president and CEO of Maravedis. "We have collected hard data directly from service providers worldwide to deliver an unbiased toolkit that enables operators and manufacturers to trail the key variables affecting the evolution of WiMAX adoption and network deployments."

According to Eric Hamilton, CTO for Unwired Australia, "Such detailed and neutral information is not easy to find in the WiMAX industry. WiMAXCounts greatly enhances market knowledge among WiMAX service providers and helps us understand the current best practices in the market, network roll out and market entry strategies."

Maravedis claims to have a dedicated team permanently working on populating and updating WiMAXCounts "to guarantee the WiMAX ecosystem with the most current information available." WiMAXCounts now covers more than 100 WiMAX operators in 36 countries and expect to add another 150 profiles across 34 additional countries by Q1-2008.

Maravedis will complement the database with a quarterly newsletter that provides an executive summary analysis of recent service provider deployments and industry trends (investment, content, marketing programs. Details at http://www.wimaxcounts.com/
