Motorola, Nokia Siemens Networks, Nortel Networks and ZTE. We have also

Second Quarter 2008 Financials
With the second quarter of 208 now over, we analyze how well the major
wireless infrastructure OEMs performed.
This analysis covers the following wireless OEMs:
- Alcatel-Lucent
- Ericsson
- Motorola
- Nokia Siemens Networks
- Nortel Networks
- ZTE
Segmented Financials-Wireless Only
While both Alcatel-Lucent and Nortel Networks break out their wireless carrier
infrastructure revenues, Ericsson, Motorola and Nokia Siemens Networks do not.
We have made estimates for what we believe to be are the representative of
their wireless-only revenues. ZTE breaks out semi annual and annual wireless
carrier infrastructure revenues.
Revenues converted to USD for these six OEMs totaled USD $13.8 billion in the
second quarter of 2008, up 14.5% year over year when compared with revenues of
USD $12.1 billion for the second quarter of 2007. Second quarter 2008 revenues
were up 9.9% sequentially from revenues of USD $12.6 billion.
