Boom in Telecommunications Drives Demand in Chinese Wireless Test and Measurement Equipment Market With a sharp increase in the usage of cell phones, China is witnessing a boom in its telecommunications market. Moreover, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and e-notebooks are gradually gaining market acceptance. These necessitate the use of applications such as unified messaging, which facilitate e-mail, fax, and voicemail services. Comprehensive testing on these increasingly complex mobile phone services is driving the demand for test equipment. Having overcome several technical challenges, 3G services are poised to further promote the country’s telecommunications market. The Chinese Government is expected to encourage the growth of 3G in China to foster a robust domestic telecommunications industry. Domestically developed 3G technology standards, including time division-synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA), are likely to lead the market, especially since current wireless communication networks are beginning to support these recent technologies. This is encouraging equipment manufacturers, service providers, and consumers to invest in the promising wireless test and measurement equipment market. Competition Improves Test and Measurement Equipment Technology and Services Increasing competition among network operators is compelling them to offer extensive services. Growing demand for comprehensive testing systems that enable network operators to continuously monitor the network is driving them to shift from their current networks to 3G standards. This can greatly increase the complexity of the networks. "Due to the convergence of data, voice, and video services in these networks, vendors are seeking to enhance test equipment’s capability to integrate physical and protocol layer level testing for multiple standards, interfaces, and protocols in a single instrument," observes the analyst of this research service. The rapidly evolving technologies and standards create a unique challenge for test equipment manufacturers. "End users expect their test equipment to have a long shelf life, which provides them with a platform to which they can add other hardware and software modules when new technologies are developed," notes the analyst. "Manufacturers need to design test equipment that can be scaled and easily upgraded in order to retain customers." Table of Contents
