NBI/Michael Sone Associates’ Canadian Mobile Wireless
Device and Network Equipment Market Report, 2005 Edition is the
companion to our Canadian Mobile Wireless Communications Services
Market Report. The reports remain the most comprehensive studies
published on this industry, examining in detail, for both the equipment
and service segments, topics as market size and growth, distribution
strategies, product development, pricing, technology issues and usage
patterns. Section 1 of this report consists of a detailed executive
summary that provides an overview of the industry in Canada as well as an
analysis of the key elements that will define the future. Sections 2
through 4 are devoted to the traditional handset and hybrid sectors with
reference to the latest technologies and the equipment vendors’ particular
strategies. Prominence is given to detailed profiles of the major device
manufacturers and discussions on their activities and future plans as the
industry moves toward the next generation (3G) of wireless communications.
This is followed in Section 5 with a discussion on telematics, while
Section 6 rounds out the report with an update on the products and
activities of the major infrastructure manufacturers.
Six exhibits and one figure that provide shipment and installed base data
for device manufacturers, including projections to 2007 and segmentation
by technology, support the substantive and comprehensive discussion. The
handset shipment data contained therein is the result of exhaustive
research and is, in our opinion, the best available view anywhere of the
Canadian market, notwithstanding what we believe to be variations in the
accounting practices of the manufacturers.
