Base Station Chip Market Poised For Growth As 3G Transition Accelerates |
|
7th June , 2004 |
|
"Stronger OEM-backed standardization activity, such as OBSAI and CPRI, along with migration to off-the-shelf chip approaches will be the major trends to follow in this segment," said Sean Lavey ( inset above ), program manager at IDC. "We believe further cost reductions delivered at the chip level for key 3G baseband, transceiver, and power amplifier subsystems will help jumpstart expansion and upgrades to data-enabled cellular networks." Continued adoption of 2.5G and 3G data services within key first-wave regions, coupled with demands for basic voice services in other parts of the world, will continue to fuel spending for base station gear. In particular, the 3G segment, which includes WCDMA, CDMA2000 and upcoming TD-SCDMA air interface standards, will become the major driver as it posts a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28% by 2008. The new study, Worldwide Base Station Semiconductor 2004-2008 Forecast and Analysis (IDC #31357), provides an outlook for semiconductors shipping into the base station market and analysis of the component suppliers. Coverage includes details by air interface standards such as 2G (GSM, TDMA, cdmaOne, iDEN and PDC), 2.5G (GPRS/EDGE and CDMA2000 1xRTT), and 3G (WCDMA, CDMA200 1xEV-DO/DV, and TD-SCDMA), as well as the trends in key baseband, transceiver, and power amplifier subsystems. |
