Description
This report updates and expands the report previously published in 1998 by World Information Technologies entitled PCS & Cellular Base Station Equipment. The present report analyzes factors driving the world and US markets for wireless base station equipment with the goal of fostering vendor success in a seemingly down market. The report details the world market drivers, opportunities and competition while quantifying several key equipment markets, including BTSs/RNCs, antennas, tower-mounted amplifiers, coaxial cable, power equipment, cabinets/huts/shelters, hardware, alarms/monitors and backhaul equipment. It further outlines vendor supply chain models with an eye toward providing information on cost-cutting and network management techniques. Market estimates and analyses for this report were established through primary interviews with over 50 market participants including equipment vendors (OEMs), value-added resellers (VARs) and wireless service providers. Published July 2002, Over 200 tables and charts.

This independent, objective and reliable third-party research—based on primary interviews with equipment vendors and wireless service providers— provides the accurate and timely information you need to create and implement effective, successful market strategies.
