Finnish telecom equipment maker Nokia forecast that all new cars would by the end of 2005 have at least one Internet address and said it aimed to be the No. 1 supplier of such equipment.
It said in a statement it would launch its first wireless vehicle communications equipment--called the telematics system--in the second half of this year, and second-generation equipment would be launched in late 2001.
Lehman Brothers also predicted that the number of data-ready cell phone handsets would grow from more than 423 million this year to 553 million in 2001, reiterating its positive ratings on Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, Qualcomm, Comverse Technology, and Nortel Networks.
"We believe that Nokia, Ericsson, and Motorola, as well as Asian vendors such as Samsung and Panasonic are all well positioned to exploit this burgeoning market," the report said. "In addition, exponential growth in wireless data should support dynamic growth for a new wave of software platforms, applications, IP gateways, location-based services and wireless modems."
