NBI/Michael Sone Associates’ Canadian Mobile Wireless Network Equipment Market Report, 2007 Edition is supplementary to our Canadian Mobile Wireless Device Market Report and companion to our Canadian Mobile Wireless Communications Services Market Report. These reports remain the most comprehensive studies published on this industry, examining in detail, for both the equipment and service segments, topics such as market size and growth, distribution strategies, product development, pricing, technology issues and usage patterns.

Focusing on current, developing and future infrastructure and air interface technologies, the report provides an overview of the carriers’ current network deployments and examines their need for technology upgrades and their choices in that regard. This is followed by a discussion of the services these future technologies might provide, including the different types of mobile TV and, finally, the devices necessary to support all these features. The second part of the report consists of a brief but in-depth analysis of the major equipment vendors’ products and particular strategies and future plans as the industry moves toward the next generation of wireless communications.

The discussion contained herein is the result of exhaustive primary-sourced research and is, in our opinion, the best available view of the Canadian market..
