INDUSTRY OUTLOOK - 

 

Increasing demand for high-speed and high capacity, data-centric internet access by individuals and corporations is characterizing the broadband wireless access market.  This  has led to  the  evolution  and  increased adoption  of  WiMAX which represents superior performance and  lower  costs vis-a-vis    currently   deployed   cellular   technologies.   With     the WiMAX   subscriber   base   estimated   to reach  14  Mn.  b   2013    and thereafter  grow  annually 130% for the next 4 years, India is estimated to  house 20% the global WiMAX users, making it a $13 Bn. market.
 
Globally, WiMAX networks have been deployed across 150 countries. According to WiMAX Forum, WiMAX service providers cover more than  823  Mn.  People worldwide as  of  December 2010; this is expected to rise to  over  1  Bn. people  by December 2011, an annual growth of 20%+. LTE, a  3rd  generation radio access technology is seen as the next major step in the evolution  of broadband wireless technology after WiMAX. LTE supports higher performance due to its high data speeds, higher capacity bandwidth and lower latency.
 
Globally, LTE has been adopted by a few commercial networks on test basis, though  large scale deployments of LTE are expected to happen in 2012.  The global  market size for LTE equipment for FY 2012 is expected to be  around US$  5  -  6  Bn. The industry views coexistence  of  both  WiMAX  and  LTE appropriate for meeting the growing demand for wireless broadband  network. PointRed believes that both these technologies will co-exist in the network ecosystem. As a 4G player, PointRed intends to maintain a presence in both these   technologies  through  its  wide  array  of  products.   PointRed’s technology and architecture, which is built on the strength of  its  R and D capabilities, are customizable to support both these technologies.
 
The Indian telecom market has been growing at a CAGR of ~ 30%  since  1995 with the growth expected to continue in the future. The high growth of  the Indian  telecom market can mainly be attributed to mobile telecom  services which  have  grown at a CAGR of more than 117%  during  1995-2009.  Overall telecom subscriber base has grown to 826.25 Mn. with overall  teledensity reaching 69.29% as of February 2011.
 
According   to Interactive Data Corp.  (IDC)  research,   total   global investments in basic WiMAX infrastructure is estimated to reach US$3.585 Bn.  by  2011. The Topology Research Institute (TRI) estimates the  WiMAX chips  market to be worth  US$1.105 Bn., with a total of 41.1 Bn. users  by  2011.   With the exception of few countries, the Asia Pacific region has a  low   broadband   internet  penetration  rate  and   lacks   the   relevant infrastructure.  Moreover, with a population of 3 Bn. (nearly half of  the world`s population), Asia-Pacific is set to play a decisive role in  global  WiMAX  market development. IDC also estimates that  Asia Pacific will  have  more  than 50% share of global investment in basic WiMAX infrastructure  by 
2011.

Pipe maker PSL's plan to develop a special economic zone (SEZ) in Gujarat is likely to get delayed due to imposition of minimum alternate tax on SEZs in the Budget. In its pursuit to become a leading player in telecom space, Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries group may have to acquire younger brother Anil-run Reliance Communications (RCom).The Apollo Hospitals group will open two hospitals by this year end, taking the total number to 56.
