Growth in the Mobile Phone Market and Next-Generation Wireless
Technologies Boosts the Indian Wireless Communication Test Equipment
Market, Avers Frost & Sullivan
MUMBAI, May 26 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
The Indian wireless communication test equipment market is
positioned for good growth with investments in R&D and infrastructure
development, bolstered by growth in the mobile phone market and the
advent of next-generation wireless technologies.
However, accompanying this will be challenges such as the
demand for lower prices and intense competition. Although the current
economic slowdown has temporarily retarded demand, the situation is
expected to ameliorate within a quarter to put the market back on its
high-growth trajectory.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan
Test Equipment Market, finds that the Indian base station and air
interface test equipment market was worth $5.40 Million in 2007 and is
expected to generate revenues of $9.29 Million in 2011. The Indian mobile
station test equipment market generated $18.80 Million in 2007. The
revenues are expected to grow to $39.98 Million in 2011.
The research also covers the markets for drive testers,
antenna and cable testers and wireless router test equipment. The
following technologies are covered in this research: global system for
mobile communications (GSM), code division multiple access (CDMA), and
wireless local area network (LAN)/Bluetooth.

"The penetration and growth of mobile phones is a significant
driver for the wireless communication testers market," says Frost &
Sullivan Program Manager Deepa Doraiswamy. "India is now the second
largest wireless market in the world."
A key factor driving the market for wireless communication
test equipment is the phenomenal growth in the mobile phone market over
the last 4-5 years, resulting in a 275 million-subscriber base in 2008.
With the addition of close to 10 million users each month, the subscriber
base is expected to touch 750 million in 2012. Further, the number of
locally made GSM handsets is expected to rise from 72 million in 2008 to
100 million by 2010. Export activity is likely to pick up in the future.
Quality of service (QoS) is undoubtedly a critical aspect of
the communication industry. However, with the advent of third-generation
(3G) technology, it becomes difficult to offer several value-added
services of 3G over existing offerings without compromising on QoS.
Service providers will be challenged by interoperability and interference
and will require adequate test support tools, as 3G, wireless-integrated
multiple accesses (WiMax), and other wireless technologies need to be
supported in the same device.
"In sync with the global trend, 3G wireless networks will be
integrated with wired next-generation IP networks in the future to
enhance the service capabilities by providing voice, data, graphic, and
voice-based information at a higher speed, along with internet
connectivity," says Doraiswamy. "In such converging 3G wireless and wired
next generation IP networks, ensuring QoS will be the foremost challenge
for mobile service providers."
Wireless standards are evolving rapidly with increasing
bandwidth and higher data transfer rates. It is uncertain which standard
will emerge as the single-most dominant standard. In such a scenario of
multiple standards being deployed, wireless test manufacturers should
develop products conforming to the latest standard.
"Test equipment vendors need to closely associate with network
operators and equipment manufacturers to understand their challenges and
add the necessary features to their testers for better QoS," concludes
Doraiswamy. "Test vendors should keep abreast of evolving wireless
technologies and interoperability issues arising out of their coexistence
to scale their products and address future testing requirements."
