Mobility Infrastructure Sales Drop to Lowest Level in Six Quarters, According to Dell'Oro Group; Ericsson Gains Ground in WCDMA
Posted on: Tuesday, 23 May 2006, 16:55 CDT
Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, reported that the total mobility infrastructure equipment market contracted 15 percent on a sequential basis in the first quarter of 2006, due mostly to seasonal weakness plus sluggish CDMA sales. The report indicates that CDMA users have stalled purchases in anticipation of the new CDMA 1X-EV-DO Revision A upgrades. On a year-over-year basis, WCDMA was the only technology that increased.
"As service providers upgrade their GSM networks to WCDMA, Ericsson is clearly gaining ground in almost every region of the world," said Greg Collins, Senior Director of Mobility Infrastructure Research. "Ericsson's share in WCDMA equipment sales outside of Japan was greater in the first quarter than its share in GSM, which indicates that it is more than simply converting existing accounts," added Collins.
