GSM/GPRS/EDGE Boosts Mobile Infrastructure Market in the Second Quarter

Ericsson and Huawei Surge

Redwood City, Calif. – August 20, 2007 – Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, reported today that revenues from sales of GSM-based infrastructure equipment increased 12 percent sequentially in the second quarter of this year to help boost revenues for the overall mobile infrastructure market.

“Ericsson and Huawei appear to be taking advantage of the disruption caused by the recent mergers of Nokia and Siemens communications businesses, and Alcatel and Lucent,” commented Greg Collins, Vice President of Dell’Oro Group. “Both Ericsson and Huawei continue to be aggressive in winning new business in the high growth areas of Asia. During the quarter, Ericsson gained 4 points of worldwide market share, while Huawei grew their market share in excess of 30 percent,” added Collins.

Although the market for GSM/GPRS/EDGE was very strong in the second quarter, the market for CDMA-based infrastructure was flat and the WCDMA infrastructure market grew albeit less than expected.
