global wi-fi test equipment market
DESCRIPTION
With communication service providers developing strategies to offload mobile traffic to Wi-Fi networks, there is a real need for Wi-Fi testing. This move, primarily driven by the exploding data traffic created by smartphones, indicates that there are strong opportunities for Wi-Fi test equipment manufacturers globally. Smartphones, which accounted for only 27 percent of total global handsets in 2013, contributed to 95 percent of total handset data traffic.TRANSCRIPT
Research PREVIEW for the
Global Wi-Fi Test Equipment Market
(NCFA-30)
Cellular Offloading Strategies to Ease Network
Congestion and Drive Wi-Fi Test Equipment Market
• The global Wi-Fi test equipment market will experience
healthy growth and exceed $1 billion in revenue by 2020.
The market is expected to grow at 11.0% CAGR from 2014
to 2020.
• Cellular networks will face a tremendous challenge to cope
with a limited and licensed spectrum. Wi-Fi, which utilizes
the unlicensed spectrum, is the most favorable technology
for offloading demand as it is inexpensive, pervasive, gives
high performance, and has constantly improving standards.
• The risk to service providers of using Wi-Fi for cellular
offload is that unsatisfactory user experiences with Wi-Fi will
result in a loss of high-margin smartphone customers.
• The challenge will be to test offload solutions thoroughly to
provide the best service. This trend will encourage new
innovations in testing for Wi-Fi.
