Abstract
Summary
The worldwide broadband CPE market progressed at a slower pace in 2007, rising
by 14% in 2007 to 140 million unit shipments. Contributing factors toward
slower CPE growth include replacing two units (broadband modem and router)
with one unit (residential gateway), and slowing worldwide cable and DSL
subscriber growth.
This report examines the broadband CPE annual market shares for 2007 vs. 2006,
based on unit shipments. The broadband CPE pie represented in this report
includes cable modems, DSL modems, residential gateways, and broadband
routers. Home Wi-Fi aggregator market shares are also included, and overlap
broadband routers and gateways.
