Abstract
Description
The mobile handset market is entering a new stage of its evolution with the
transition to next generation network (NGN) technologies. This transition has
clear implications for the mobile handset market as manufacturers are hoping
to see increased opportunities for new handset sales in highly penetrated
markets from the consumer upgrade cycle. At the same time, mobile network
operators are counting on new features and technologies to attract subscribers
and drive average revenue per user (ARPU). This report offers a careful
examination of these issues, and provides a balanced viewpoint of the
opportunities and challenges that the mobile handset market faces.
This report examines the major issues affecting the market for cellular
handsets and related components, incorporating the viewpoints of operators,
developers, manufacturers and vendors. It features exceptional granularity
with worldwide, regional, and country-level forecasts for 70 countries.
Technology splits are provided for 18 air-interface technologies, including
LTE and WiMAX (802.16e & 802.16m). Additionally, IMS Research has drawn upon
the expertise of dedicated research groups focused on areas such as GPS/GNSS,
Mobile TV, Short-Range Wireless, and BluetoothR to provide analysis of feature
and technology penetrations as well as a review of strategic considerations
and key technology trends.
