Small cell semiconductors to overtake residential femtocell chip revenue within 12 months
CAMPBELL, California, USA-October 15, 2014. Mobile Experts released a 115-page market study today that forecasts a coming upsurge in the market for Semiconductors for Small Cells. Synthesizing information from over 30 companies to triangulate on the small cell market, this report explains why the market is seeing shipments tick upward for high-capacity small cells. Around 2016, Mobile Experts expects revenue to utterly explode; this trend continues through 2019.
Joe Madden, Principal Analyst at Mobile Experts explained, “Small Cell enterprise and carrier deployments are starting to ramp up, with typical order size increasing from 50 units to thousands of units in some cases. Because high-capacity small cells contain much more semiconductor content than residential units, we will see high-capacity small cells drive more semiconductor revenue than consumer units by the third quarter of 2015.”
The new Mobile Experts forecast provides details on how multi-mode small cells create demand for more expensive semiconductors and higher levels of integration. Block diagrams and BOM cost estimates are provided as a way to break down the value in multiple product types. Mr. Madden explained, “Multi-mode, MIMO, and Carrier Aggregation requirements are forcing small-cell vendors to include a lot more radio content in each device. Each low power base station will include an average of 3.6 transceivers in 2019.”
The report includes 115 pages, with 79 charts and diagrams. The document includes profiles for companies such as: Analog Devices, Altera, Aricent, Broadcom, Cavium, Freescale, Intel, Kyocera, Maxim, NXP, Pletronics, Qualcomm, Radisys, Rakon, RFMD, Skyworks, Taitien, Texas Instruments, Vectron, and Xilinx.
