This 24-page Power Paper provides an analysis of the economic, business, and technological factors driving the communications power systems market. For several years, power system manufacturers have been implementing different business models to find profit. As a result, there have been pockets of growth, albeit modest growth. This analysis includes three areas where change is taking place: how power systems are changing, and how E&I services are essential to a successful business model; the impact of broadband technologies on traditional telecom offerings; and how alternative battery chemistries are addressing these new technologies along with the problems inherent with lead-acid batteries.
Scope:
This Power Paper encompasses the following areas:
Discussion of economic trends, business conditions and market drivers for the communications power system market, including market characteristics and growth opportunities, power system market segmentation, changing business models, and potential threats to existing communications power supply technologies.
Methodology:
Primary and secondary research was conducted of both makers and end-users of communications power systems and subsystems. In addition, communications power system integrators and equipment makers were polled to help determine industry trends and growth rates. The research was in no way limited to companies in North America, with the implicit understanding that a significant portion of the systems produced by the major OEMs are shipped outside of their region.
The detailed methodology proceeded as follows:
(1) A series of telephone, fax and e-mail interviews were conducted by Darnell Group with a select group of vendors and power system users/specifiers. During interviews, a checklist was used to make sure that no points were overlooked. The primary research efforts were directed to major users of the various types of communications power systems. The use of multiple primary data sources (e.g., end-equipment makers and communications power suppliers) enabled cross-validation and ensured the highest possible database quality and reliability.
(2) The primary data collected in the survey was supplemented by secondary data gathered from a variety of published sources including previous industry studies, trade journals, proceedings from related trade conferences, annual reports, 10ks, product literature, advertising, industry web pages, newspapers and periodicals, previous reports, related work performed by the Darnell group and a variety of other sources. |
