Market Overview
WiMAX and LTE Technologies Offer Huge Scope for Test and Measurement Equipment Vendors
The telecommunications sector is poised for a huge leap forward with the deployment of of 4G technologies, particularly WiMAX and LTE. In a troubled economy marked by decreased consumer spending and tight capital budgets, the introduction of these technically complex technologies has unleashed new opportunities for wirelss test and measurement equipment vendors. Although WIMAX and LTE are in different stages of development, they are well opsitioned to be the dominant wireless technologies of the future. .WIMAX is already available in the market and LTE is still in the aerly testing phase. However, in terms of technology, WIMAX and LTE are similar, both claiming to outperform 3G with a data speed of up to 100 Mbps and having the potential to supplant wired broadband connections. 'Consumer demand for true mobile broadband connectivity is expected to be the key driver for the market and both technologies are expected to play equally important roles in the future of wireless networks,’ notes the analyst of this research service. 'Burgeoning demand for personal and mobile broadband services with access to music, photos, games, video, and other media and entertainment options has triggered mobile network migration to 4G technology.' The global telecommunications market is witnessing a paradigm shift in demand as mobile data revenues continue to surpass voice-based revenues in most western countries, accelerating the transition to 4G technologies such as WiMAX and LTE .Mobile networks are witnessing fast paced development as operators go the extra mile to cater to the changing communication and entertainment needs of their subscribers.
Compressed timelines and tight schedules are posing impediments to participants in this space. With competetion intensifying to deploy 4G in full swing, test equipment vendors are under pressure to deliver tools to support operators’ strategies and roadmaps for LTE deployment. This challenge pertains more to the LTE sector as WIMAX has already been rolled out. Although Europe is anticipating a staggered LTE deployment, companies in the United States and Japan have firm plans to launch LTE in 2010. As operators are upgrading their networks to support LTE and the proliferation of data cards,and USB dongles, and mobile devices scheduled for release in 2011,test equipment vendors must be adequately prepared to meet their requirements. 'Another major hurdle for test vendors, particularly from the LTE standpoint, is to keep abreast of evolving standards and technologies,' says the analyst. 'It is imperative for test vendors to rapidly incorporate the latest technologies into their products and ensure conformance of standards in the entire wireless ecosystem,' Test equipment vendors must be aware of the specfic needs of customers while leveraging technological
advancements to provide easy-to-use solutions.
Although the roll out of LTE is imminent, operators are unlikely to replace their existing 3G and even 2G networks with 4G. Following in the footsteps of WiMAX, LTE will also be initially used for data services only and will revert to 2G/3G for voice calls and SMS. Operators need to offer multi-mode handsets that are capable of switching seamlessly between 3G/WiMAX or 3G/LTE networks. Currently, as the majority of the aggressive LTE deployment comes from CDMA operators, certification of CDMA2000/LTE multi-mode devices is occurring at a furious pace.
