Alcatel-Lucent 3GPP Radio Access Network
Alcatel-Lucent has done an admirable job of growing its WCDMA momentum. It has moved to better message its multi-standard RAN strategy and LTE expertise. Still, momentum trails competitors and an unclear position on converged controllers hurts it. (1/13/2010)

Ericsson 3GPP Radio Access Network
Ericsson may be the undisputed leader of 2G and 3G network builds, but it’s clear to see that some of its 3GPP RAN products are getting dated. Luckily, new ones are coming out to give the vendor a claim to competitive capacity. (1/13/2010)
| Client Access | Go to Telecom Equipment Buyer |

Huawei 3GPP Radio Access Network
Huawei doesn’t enjoy the storied GSM/WCDMA history of Ericsson, NSN or Alcatel-Lucent. It has, however, come out early with a focus on multi-standard solutions and new controllers. Combined with solid momentum, the result is a strong position. (1/13/2010)
| Client Access | Go to Telecom Equipment Buyer |

Nokia Siemens Networks 3GPP Radio Access Network
A single, multi-standard base station has been a hallmark of NSN’s radio access strategy for years, giving it a leg up on competitors who just recently jumped on the multi-standard bandwagon. How this impacts LTE momentum, however, is unclear. (1/13/2010)
