Over 230,000 New Base Stations to Be Added Next Year in the Four Largest Emerging Markets
While many sectors of the economy are languishing in the global recession, wireless infrastructure is relatively healthy. This also holds true in the world's major "emerging markets." Base station deployment continues in many countries, and the four largest markets - Brazil, Russia, India, and China, known collectively as the "BRIC" group - are expected to see more than 230,000 of them being deployed during 2010. more

Wise broadband policies can create a win-win situation in developing countries
In the last few years, the subject of the global digital divide has received a lot of attention from the telecoms industry. Much of this interest has focused on the role that mobile networks are playing to narrow the divide, as mobile penetration rates in developing markets have been growing strongly, while those in mature markets have saturated. However, at the same time, there has been mass-market adoption of broadband in an increasing number of countries in the developed world, while take-up of broadband in many countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America has been negligible, causing the broadband access gap to widen considerably. more

Mobile backhaul equipment market growing fast, with no letup in sight
Mobile backhaul equipment investments jumped a healthy 19% in 2008 to $4.6 billion worldwide, and revenue is set to explode over the next 5 years and beyond, reports Infonetics Research. The report also said that the most quickly changing technologies between 2008 and 2013 are Ethernet microwave and Ethernet copper and fiber. In all the major world regions, operators will gradually shift to Ethernet backhaul, although it will be a slower shift in Asia Pacific and Central/Latin America, as a higher proportion of overall mobile traffic remains voice for a longer period. more

Next-Generation Mobile Broadband Technologies to Close the Gap With Fixed Broadband
Mobile operators are expected to fully maximise their high-speed packet access (HSPA) deployments before eventually deploying 3G long-term evolution (LTE). Many operators will leapfrog from HSPA to 3G LTE, as the window of opportunity for HSPA Evolved is insignificant when compared to 3G LTE. more
