San Jose, CA September 15, 2008 -- Technology developments have been contributing their fair share in driving growth in the world telecom equipment market. This is especially so in the satellite communications equipment sector, where steady improvements have made satellite communications equipment efficient, fast, and compact. The present day IP-based infrastructure for satellite communications equipment makes satellite networking fast and seamless, a primary reason responsible for its faster uptake in the marketplace. The growing penetration of telecommunication technologies, such as, videoconferencing, high-speed internet access, Web conferencing, audio conferencing, and next generation mobile services is leading to increased expenditures on supporting equipments.    Additionally, telecom service providers are focusing on voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), bundled services, data transport and TV to generate increased revenue. This thereby translates into greater demand for telecom equipments.    

With growth in mobile telecommunications reaching unprecedented levels in both developed and developing markets alike, there exists strong demand potential for mobile communication devices, such as, handheld wireless telephones. Growth in this category is largely driven by the increasingly availability of a wide gamut of services ranging from wireless Web browsing, sharing of digital photos, to downloading and playing of video clips and music. Smart phones are expected to enter the golden age of mobile communications by virtue of their ability to run multimedia applications with graphics, video and music and also send and receive that data over high-speed wireless networks.    

Triggered by intense competition, world telecom equipment market has been experiencing consolidation over the last few years. The need to enhance efficiency, achieve economies of scale, reduce time-to-market for new products, and offer end-to-end solutions and comprehensive product choices are major factors forcing companies to integrate and streamline their businesses through consolidations.
