EJL Wireless Research Reports Global PTP Radio Market Grew 49.1% in 2005.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- The global point to point (PTP) radio market grew by 49.1% in units in 2005, an increase from 46.2% growth in 2004, according to the latest report from EJL Wireless Research titled "Global Digital PTP Radio Market Analysis and Forecast, 2005-2010." "The PTP radio market continued to show growth in 2005 and we expect that growth will continue through 2007," says founder and President, Earl Lum. The report provides a unique perspective on the global shipments and demand for digital PTP radio equipment covering all major OEMs including Alcatel, Ceragon Networks, Ericsson, Harris, Nokia, Nera Networks, SIAE, Siemens and Stratex Networks.

"Ericsson maintained its top position but its growth rate lagged the overall market in 2005 and the merger between Nokia/Siemens has put the combined company into a solid second position in the market," says Lum.

"The PTP radio market continues to be driven by wireless BTS deployments. With a slowdown in the BTS market on the horizon, demand for PTP radios will decline but new non-mobile applications and higher capacity requirements will buffer the downturn," says Lum.
