The worldwide 3G subscribers base will grow at a CAGR of 55.93% for the period spanning from 2006 to 2010, where major share is contributed by Asia-Pacific regions, according to the latest research from RNCOS.


Among its key findings include:

  • CDMA2000 and WCDMA market is forecasted to account for 41% of the total worldwide wireless market by 2010.
  • WLAN industry is set for wider acceptance across all industry segments. Particularly, the high growth will come from WLAN home applications.
  • The standard 802.11n, anticipated to be formulated by 2007, will create exceptional uptake of technology as it has improved speed and security features.
  • China presents the major opportunity area, where WLAN customers will increase as prices of WLAN equipment are seeing downward trend.
  • The Indian hotspot market is on the cusp of a period of sustained growth. There are clear opportunities for full-fledged billing, PIN/security administration for hotspot users, and roaming solutions. Also, a more appropriate model around the hotspot (something similar to the Indian STD/ISD PCO or long-distance public calling office) needs to be developed making it a more attractive proposition to run a franchise or manage one.
  • Consumer Electronics and Mobile phones, IT Security market will present new growth opportunities for WLAN industry.
