TechNavio today launched its report, the Global RF Transceiver Market for Mobile Devices 2012-2016, based on an in-depth analysis covering the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions. The report aims to aid decision makers’ understanding of the present and future landscape of the market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s Telecom team said: ”The long term evolution (LTE) standard has evolved in recent years and is likely to show a very promising growth rate in future. Several technological trials are in process across the globe for the development and deployment of LTE infrastructure. LTE has also received support from the digital dividend initiative, due to which UHF frequency bands (700MHz and 800MHz) were made possible for use. This was an important development for LTE as the operational cost at these bands is much lower than at 2.6GHz. These bands also offer better propagation of signals with less attenuation in buildings. It is expected that adoption of LTE capable smartphones and tablets will show a high growth rate over the next three to four years.”
According to the report, across the globe, there has been rapid growth in the use of smartphones and tablets in the past few years. The increased use of these devices not only directly increases the demand for more advanced baseband and RF semiconductor components, it also drives the demand for other network equipment that is necessary for a strong network across enterprises. Moreover, devices such as the iPad, which do not have an Ethernet connection plug, assume wireless connectivity everywhere. These devices also help service providers collect user data and understand users’ preferences. In addition, for providing multi-mode capability, these smartphones require expensive basebands and additional radios. Foreseeing the high growth rate and demand for 3G/4G capable smartphones, RF transceiver vendors are focusing on utilizing this opportunity.
Further, the report reveals that one of the major challenges in this market is increasing pricing pressure.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
