EJL Wireless Research’s Vector Analysis Indicates Global Wireless Infrastructure Shipments Increased 22% in Q4 2014
Salem, NH (PRWEB) February 19, 2015 -- Wireless infrastructure shipments increased 22% in Q4 2014, according to the latest report from EJL Wireless Research titled “Vector Analysis of Wireless Infrastructure Industry, Q4 2014 Review and Q1 2014 Outlook.” “Our Vector Analysis Market Briefs provide near term tactical analysis on the state of the wireless infrastructure industry. We are using the mathematical term “vector” to indicate and direction and magnitude for our forecast of the wireless infrastructure industry,” says founder and President, Earl Lum. EJL Wireless Research is forecasting that Q1 2015 shipments within the wireless infrastructure industry are expected to increase 6% while Q2 2015 shipments are forecasted to see growth of 10%. We are, for the first time, providing a two quarter outlook with Q3 2015 demand expected to decline by 1%. We believe that continued strong demand from Asia Pacific, especially from China and India, is driving 1H 2015 shipments.
“We are maintaining our rating of Net Positive Outlook for the wireless infrastructure industry however we are downgrading our rating for the wireless BTS OEM segment to a Net Negative Outlook due to currently forecasted shipment weakness in Q2 and Q3 2015. We are also maintaining our rating of Net Positive Outlook for the PTP microwave radio segment through Q2 2015 as this segment continues to show stronger shipment demand as compared with the overall wireless infrastructure market. A complete set of definitions for our rating system is provided within our vector analysis market briefs,” says Lum.
“Of the six major BTS OEMs we have analyzed, we are maintaining a rating of Net Positive Outlook to three, a rating of Net Neutral Outlook to one, and a rating of Net Negative Outlook to two. We have upgraded Ericsson and ZTE while downgrading Nokia Networks,” says Lum.
EJL Wireless Research will re-examine its ratings of the overall wireless industry, the BTS OEM segment, and the PTP microwave/mmwave radio segment quarterly and will adjust them according to updated industry information.
