"The transceiver market continued to show exceptionally strong growth in 2007 with GSM growth at an incredible 46.3%," says founder and President Earl Lum. The report provides a unique perspective on the global shipments and demand for TRx equipment covering all air interface standards and frequencies and major OEMs including Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Huawei Technologies, Motorola, Nokia Siemens Networks, Nortel Networks, and ZTE.

"We had predicted last year that Huawei Technologies would hit #3 and we were correct," says Lum. The overall market is expected to see continued growth through 2009 before seeing a decline in shipments in 2010. Initial shipments of TD-SCDMA were strong for China but still small relative to WCDMA shipments which increased 9.7%. GSM900 remains very strong and is not expected to slow down until 2010 due to continued demand from China and India. Global demand for CDMA remains weak.
