PORTFOLIOS WE COVER
3GPP2 Radio Access Networks (RAN)
Portfolio Assessment reports from Current Analysis deliver product intelligence on a set of vendor assets typically sold in tandem – providing strategic competitive analysis along with sales insight into the products being sold into a given market category. Beyond out Product Assessments, Portfolio Assessments identify the product combinations delivered by a technology supplier, providing in-depth analysis and tactical advice based not only on product strength but the breadth and depth of the supplier’s portfolio.
Subscription clients can access Portfolio Assessments on our CurrentCOMPETE™ Intelligence Portal (See Client Access links below). They get real-time analysis of breaking industry news and events, as well as intelligence reports on companies, products, and markets. Click here to request more information. |
| 3GPP2 Radio Access Network Portfolio Assessments |
 |
| Current Analysis’ 3GPP2 Portfolio Assessments address the radio access network products deployed by CDMA2000 operators – including those evolving their networks to LTE. Products include CDMA2000 base stations (in multiple form factors) along with CDMA base station controllers. Beyond the technical merits of individual products, portfolios are judged based on their depth, the vendor’s portfolio positioning and market success. |

Alcatel-Lucent 3GPP2 RAN Portfolio |
|
| Alcatel-Lucent remains the CDMA2000 market leader thanks to the breadth and strong performance capabilities of its product portfolio. But the space efficiency of its static portfolio and unclear timing of multi-standard support may raise concern. (11/8/2011) |

 |
Ericsson 3GPP2 RAN Portfolio |
|
| Wins such as Sprint’s Vision Network show Ericsson’s success in capitalizing on its Nortel CDMA acquisition and confidence in its otherwise uncertain multi-standard support plans. But the vendor’s highly scalable gear may be overkill for some. (11/9/2011) |

 |
Huawei 3GPP2 RAN Portfolio |
|
| Huawei’s 3GPP2 portfolio offers strong scalability but few base station models to choose from and limited power output. Its CDMA gear is widely deployed by marquee names including China Telecom, but it has struggled to tap North America. (11/9/2011) |

|
ZTE 3GPP2 RAN Portfolio |
|
| Strong base station capacity claims and a public commitment to continued R&D investments make ZTE one of the major vendors in the CDMA2000 RAN space. However, RF power output concerns and BSC capacity constraints hold the portfolio back. (3/3/2011) |
