The first generation of WiMAX Forum Certified CPEs are expected to be outdoor-installable subscriber stations akin to a small satellite dish. These are expected to be available in late 2005/early 2006 and priced around $350. The second generation of CPEs will be indoor self-installable modems similar to a cable or DSL modem and will be priced around $250 and are expected to be available in 2006. Third-generation CPEs will be integrated into laptops and other portable devices, are expected to initially cost approximately $100 and will be available in the 2006-2007 timeframe.
