Market Overview

New Technologies and Product Upgrades Augment Demand for Wireless Communications Test Equipment

The rapid growth in the telecommunications sector of Latin America has generated adequate revenue to channel toward the installation, building, operation, and maintenance of wireless networks. These measures are required to cope with the emergence of technologies such as worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMax) and wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA). Apart from these technologies, the increasing penetration of global system for mobile communications (GSM) standard and the popularity of advanced, feature-rich mobile handsets are expected to significantly boost the test equipment market in the Latin American region.

To stay afloat in this well-populated market, participants should understand the needs of all their end users, be it mobile service providers, network manufacturers, mobile device handset manufacturers, or other service providers. They also have to improve users’ awareness about the importance of testing their products, as some mobile device manufacturers tend to dispense with tests in order to maintain low costs. Test equipment companies are greatly helped in their endeavors by constant technological evolutions, which necessitate complex tests and sophisticated test equipment.

Increasing Migration toward GSM and WiMax Functions to Bode Well for the Wireless Communications Test Equipment Market

Companies changing from Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) to GSM standard, along with an increase in the number of mobile subscribers, is likely to stimulate the Latin American wireless communications test equipment market. Triple-play WCDMA services that offer fast data, video, and voice transmission, especially in the corporate segment, are expected to proliferate. "Carriers, network manufacturers, and mobile device manufacturers are expected to increase their demand for wireless test equipment in order to maintain quality of services and equipment," says the analyst of this research service.

Meanwhile, the pattern specification IEEE 802.16 has identified WiMax as a technology that enables low-cost and high-speed broadband connection for residential and corporate clients. "Wireless technology facilitates easy access to broadband communications, especially in rural areas, where wireline or cable communications are not viable," notes the analyst. "Several projects are underway in Latin America, either commercially or experimentally, driving the exceptional uptake of wireless communication test equipment."
