ABI Research: USB Cellular Modem Shipments to Exceed 22 Million Units by 2012.NEW YORK New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of -- Since the end of 2006, several modem vendors have launched, or announced development of, USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. cellular modems. A new study from ABI Abi (ā`bī) [short for Abijah], in the Bible, King Hezekiah's mother. (Application Binary Interface) A specification for a specific hardware platform combined with the operating system. Research reveals a growing and increasingly competitive market and forecasts shipments of these modems in excess of 22 million by 2012. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. principal analyst Dan Shey, "Proliferation of 3G networks is the primary driver of growth of cellular modems regardless of form factor. However, new companies are jumping into the USB modem A modem that plugs into the USB port of a computer. It typically refers to a V.92 analog modem, but might refer to a DSL modem. See USB, V.92 and DSL. market because the installed base of devices for USB modems includes not only laptops but also desktops. Desktop PCs are ubiquitous around the world and will continue shipping in large volumes, exceeding 140 million units per year through 2011." In a market characterized by increasing competition, cellular modem shipments, including PC Cards and ExpressCards, USB modems, internal modems and 3G/Wi-Fi routers, will grow to over 68 million units by 2012, representing a compound annual growth rate of 53%. The market dynamics affecting USB modem growth will be very different from those that affect the other modem form factors. This will create opportunities and challenges for all value chain players. Says Shey, "There are two factors to watch which will affect the USB modem market. First, the newer companies entering this market are in the Asia-Pacific region, a territory with notoriously price-competitive companies. Second, since the USB modem attaches externally to the computer, the device has no space or shape limitations. This fact will allow modem vendors to differentiate their products based on body design and functional features, providing for interesting marketing opportunities." ABI Research's study, "Expanding Cellular Broadband Connectivity to the Laptop" (http://www.abiresearch.com/products/market_research/Expanding_ Cellular_Broadband_Connectivity_to_the_Laptop) provides a comprehensive overview of the market for cellular modems. The report analyzes the factors both driving and inhibiting growth, and illustrates how changes in the market are creating both opportunity and complexity for the value chain participants, including chipset manufacturers and wireless operators, as well as producers of modems, laptops, and connection client software. In-depth analysis is also applied to the value-creating role of the connection client and its impact on the value chain participants. Finally, this report provides comprehensive market share and forecast information. Forecasts are provided for each of five different form factors by worldwide region, technology standard and air interface, and average selling price The average sales price of goods or commodities. Especially used in the retail sector and technology distribution. . The study forms part of two ABI Research Services: Mobile Broadband Description Mobile Broadband is a type of wireless internet access that differs from Wi-Fi.
