SUMMARY

Constantly Evolving Technology Standards Challenge Wireless Test Equipment Vendors

Constantly evolving technology standards are both a driver and a challenge to the test equipment industry. On the one hand, these changing standards create a need for new test equipment and on the other, they compel vendors to keep pace with them as well as decide which ones to support. Vendors face the difficult task of developing test equipment while keeping in mind the money, time, risk and manpower involved in adopting a particular standard. Changing standards also create complexity in the networks that operators are not experienced enough to handle. This increasing network complexity offers a great opportunity for test equipment vendors to offer various voice and data services over different protocols. However, they would first have to understand these protocols before offering relevant test solutions.

This Frost & Sullivan research service provides an in-depth analysis of the European wireless communication test equipment market, segmented as follows: test equipment for global system for communications (GSM) standards 2G-3G; for code division multiplex access (CDMA) standards 2G-3G; and for wireless local area network (WLAN)/Bluetooth. It focuses on the most critical challenges facing the market as well as the key drivers driving its growth. It also includes detailed forecasts in terms of revenue and percentage for the various equipment types from 2001-2011.

Increasing Focus on HSDPA Boosts Market Growth

Release 5 specifications of third-generation partnership project (3GPP) standards focus on high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA), which yields very high data speeds and is similar to asymmetrical digital subscriber line (ADSL). With HSDPA, achieving data speeds of up to 10 Mbps is possible, which is high enough to support packet-based multimedia services.

"This factor is likely to have a medium impact in the short term and a medium to high impact in the medium and long terms," remarks the analyst of this research service. "However, although this technology is likely to be integrated in personal computers (PCs) in a year's time, high-speed uplink packet access (HSUPA) is expected to eventually overtake HSDPA."

Increased W-CDMA Testing Contributes to Wireless Communication Test Equipment Market Growth

Apart from the growing focus on HSDPA, there is also an increasing emphasis on test equipment that offer capabilities for multiple standards and technologies, including testing for wide-band code division multiple access (W-CDMA), CDMA2000, WLAN or Bluetooth. Moreover, there is a rising demand for easy-to-use test equipment that suit the skills of different end users. Catering to this need brings with it a host of product development challenges for vendors, especially since end users are increasingly likely to adopt standards based on the functionality they offer.

"The deployment of W-CDMA is expected to help resolve interoperability issues, one of the most critical challenges facing the wireless industry today," says the analyst. "With the 3G rollout, there is expected to be consistent checking of WCDMA equipment, thereby contributing to market growth."
