HSPA is the main beneficiary of the
drive to 3G as it leads both new deployments and contract awards so far
in 2009. Ericsson and Huawei led the infrastructure providers in new
contract awards for HSPA. The new, high profile contract awards
in 3G included China Unicom, Telecom Italia and Telefonica.
"The roll-out of 3G worldwide is important, but the story of the day is
LTE becoming a reality," says Allen Nogee, In-Stat analyst. "LTE
contracts have been awarded in Japan, Singapore, United States, Norway,
and Sweden. Infrastructure leaders are far from decided; however,
Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, and Huawei are the early beneficiaries of the
early LTE contract awards."
Recent research by In-Stat found the following:
- During 1Q09, there were 9 WiMAX 802.16e networks deployed worldwide,
mainly in Asia Pacific and Eastern Europe.
- 2G is far from dead. There were new contract awards for 2G
infrastructure in 1Q2009.
The research, "1Q/2Q09 2G/3G/4G Contract, Deployment, and Subscriptions
Database" (#IN0904346GDS), provides an in-depth look at the wireless
technologies being deployed around the world. It provides summary data
by bandwidth, technology, and region in pivot-tables for quick analysis
of trends using a combination of subscriptions, contract awards, and
deployments. Furthermore, detailed data on contract awards for upcoming
networks and new network deployments are provided in pivot-tables for
targeted views by country, service provider, and infrastructure vendor
for in-depth analysis.
This report includes:
- Five-year Subscriptions forecasts by wireless technology and region
(CDMA, GSM/EDGE, CDMA EV-DO, TD-SCDMA, WCDMA/HSPA/HSPA+, 802.16e, and
LTE).
- Contract Awards and Deployments by wireless technology, region,
country, service provider, infrastructure vendor, date, availability,
and value.
