Looks like we are seeing some movement in the venture capital world for fast movers and entrepreneurial companies competing in the WiMax sector. In fact recently we watch Aperto Networks receive another round of 26 million in capital bringing them to 120 million dollars in total capitalization. You might know Aperto as a major developer of WiMax base stations and units for subscribers.
Apparently the next generation of WiMax is coming and almost here and investors are looking for big returns in the near future as more and more implementation of WiMax systems occur. WiMax is also a good solution for the VoIP issues that occur due to bandwidth loading, as well as video applications or even hybrid cellular service.
It appears that venture capital funding in this wireless communication sub-sector may indeed continue for several more years and Aperto Networks seems to be gaining serious steam in the market place thanks to their funding partners and PacketMax system innovations.
The company has also recently partnered with ADC, which makes the Digivance wireless LANs, which have become so popular. This also opens up doors for distributed antenna systems and high gain amplifiers, which will make the over all systems more robust. Please consider this in 2006.
