Abstract
This IDC study includes worldwide cellular basestation semiconductor revenue
forecasts for 2007 through 2011. It covers key semiconductor categories for
baseband processing and transceiver and power amplifier functions in 2G, 2.5G,
3G, and 3.5G basestations (and node Bs). This document also outlines key
assumptions and major trends affecting this semiconductor market.
"The basestation semiconductor market continues to expand at a modest rate as
the industry migrates from 2G/2.5G infrastructure to 3G/3.5G infrastructure.
Industry revenue is expected to increase at a 3.7% CAGR through 2011." - Flint
