Abstract
“The current level of data traffic on the cellular networks does not
justify the investment to deploy an OFDM-based solution. Operators worldwide
are waiting to see how successful the Sprint-Nextel services will be in the US
on their WiMAX network, before deciding their next step.”
Description
This study is ideal for anyone who is looking for a detailed quantitative
analysis of the worldwide cellular infrastructure market. Market size
forecasts to 2011 for the five main air interface technologies and cell size
are provided.
The report provides a detailed analysis of the cellular installed base by air
interface technology and by region. The installed base and unit shipment
analyses for base stations/node Bs, Base Station Controllers(BSCs) / Radio
Network Controllers(RNCs) and Mobile Switching Centres (MSCs) are also given
per technology and region, with market size estimates for 2006 with forecast
to 2011.
The report also gives an in-depth study on the impact of femto' s on the core
network and the business case behind them.
Some of the key market breakdowns are as follows:
- BY INSTALLED BASE
- Cellular Users
- Base Stations / node Bs
- Base Station Controllers / Radio Network Controllers
- Mobile Switching Centers
- BY PRODUCT TYPE
- TRX / Channel Card Shipments and Revenues
- Base Station / node B Shipments and Revenues
- Base Station Controller / Radio Network Controller Shipments
- Mobile Switching Center Shipments
- BY GEOGRAPHIC REGION
- America
- Asia
- Europe
- Middle East and Africa
- Worldwide
- BY AIR INTERFACE
- GSM / EDGE
- W-CDMA / HSPA
- CDMA
- TD-SCDMA
- WiMAX
- BY CELL SIZE
This new report delivers key findings such as:
- The base station installed base is set to reach the three million land
mark in 2007.
- GSM/EDGE is the dominant technology for the whole forecast period and it
is expected to account for the vast majority of the base stations shipped.
- Asia and MEA will account for over 60% of the total base stations shipped
in the period 2006-2011.
- The various mobile broadband technologies can finally offer the enhanced
performance and the lower cost per bit, required for a new generation of
enhanced multimedia services.
- These broadband technologies will, however, heavily impact traditional
T1/E1 backhaul solutions. TDM and Ethernet/IP solutions will co-exist, with
TDM handling delay-sensitive traffic (voice) while the data traffic will go
over Ethernet/IP.
- Micro and Pico base stations are set to play an increasingly significant
role in the market and to account for about 20% of the overall shipments in
2011.
- Over 20 million Femto base stations are expected to be shipped in the
period 2008-2011.
