Abstract
In 2008, 154 million broadband customer premises equipment (CPE) units
(broadband modems, routers, and residential gateways) shipped worldwide,
resulting in an increase of 2.4% over 2007, the slowest growth in this decade.
Through 2013, modems and ONTs will continue to dominate global unit shipments.
This report contains analysis of worldwide equipment shipments, home networks,
and consumer survey data. We examine key worldwide and regional CPE markets
for broadband modems/ONTs, routers, and residential gateways for DSL, cable,
Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH), Fixed Wireless Broadband, and Fixed Satellite
Broadband. VoIP forecasts are included for DSL, cable, and router equipment,
with a regional breakout for cable E-MTAs. Wired vs. wireless segmentations
are included for routers and DSL residential gateways. In addition, global and
regional forecasts are provided for home networks, as well as recent consumer
survey perspectives about equipment features that impact buying decisions.
