Perspectives

Cellular modem shipments - led by USB modems and embedded radio modules - will grow from nearly 21 million units sold in 2007 to nearly 200 million modems sold in 2013. USB modems have quickly become the winning form factor due to the user familiarity of the interface, as well the convenience they offer by including the connection software on the modem. Computer manufacturers ultimately want cellular modems embedded as radio modules for anytime access to high-speed mobile data services. As the speeds of cellular data networks increase, portable routers that bridge 3G and Wi-Fi networks are also increasingly popular.

The Cellular Modem Research Service delivers a comprehensive view of key vendors, form-factors and adoption of 3G/4G wireless protocols for mobile data communications. In addition to cornerstone research reports and timely analysis briefs, biannual market data studies are published to track global movements in segmentation, shipments and revenues.
