Alcatel-Lucent Base Station Solution
Alcatel-Lucent’s highly competitive CDMA2000 base station portfolio offers portfolio breadth and carrier capacity options that few can match. Though, gaps exist in the portfolio, such as limited transport options in the newest, low end kit. (3/5/2008)

Price: $495

Huawei Base Station Solution
Strong market momentum underscores Huawei’s CDMA base station offering with 65 EV-DO wins to date. Conversely, modest performance metrics place the solution in the middle of the pack. (3/5/2008)

Price: $495

Motorola Base Station Solution
It is unclear whether Motorola’s promised new set of base stations to its stalwart CDMA product line have started shipping. The result leaves a vulnerable portfolio suffering from limited capacity options and bulkiness. (3/5/2008)

Price: $495

Nortel Base Station Solution
Nortel’s CDMA2000 portfolio offers a competitive solution with portfolio breadth and traditionally strong momentum. Though capacity upgrades are promised, current performance metrics are lackluster compared to newer offerings from competitors. (3/5/2008)

Price: $495

Samsung Base Station Solution
Samsung offers a broad and proven CDMA base station portfolio. In spite of strong capacity performance and footprint efficiency, a lack of market momentum or new product offerings dilutes an otherwise strong offering. (3/5/2008)

Price: $495

ZTE Base Station Portfolio
Beyond solid market momentum, ZTE’s CDMA base station solution benefits from top-end capacity and coverage performance. On the other hand, limited product history and bulkier low-capacity offerings mar an otherwise stellar portfolio. (4/16/2008)

• Buying Criteria
  • Capacity
    • Reflects the quantity of calls possible via a base station. It is determined by a combination of the number of carriers and the number of sectors, as well as total channel element capacity.
  • Coverage
    • Reflects the maximum size possible for a cell sector footprint. It is determined by transmit power and receive sensitivity as well as the maximum number of sectors possible.
  • Deployment Flexibility
    • Total costs related to real estate acquisition, transmission options, integrated backhaul (e.g. microwave, SDH), and site location considerations.
  • Technology Evolution
    • Does equipment support 1X and 1xEV-DO evolution? Does equipment address spectrum flexibility?
  • Portfolio Breadth
    • Reflects the range of base station forms and capacities available to be deployed into multiple markets (i.e., does the vendor maintain high-capacity, mid-capacity and low-capacity products?)
