Motorola Leads Cable modem Market, ADSL Market Heats Up; In Q1 1999 According to New Cahners In-Stat Group Report BUSINESS WIRE - 08:05 a.m. Jun 16, 1999 Eastern NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 16, 1999-- According to a recent report released by Cahners In-Stat Group, both the cable modem and ADSL modem markets continued steady growth in Q1 99. Motorola and Nortel Networks continued to lead the cable modem market. Combined, the two companies held 65 percent of total cable modems shipped. According to Cahners In-Stat Group, standards-based modems are beginning to see a greater presence in this market, however in Q1 99, DOCSIS-based cable modems represented only 10 percent of total cable modems shipped. 3Com, General Instruments and Samsung led in DOCSIS-based modem shipments. Due to considerable progress made towards multi-vendor interoperability, the ADSL market is clearly poised to take-off. Alcatel and Cisco led the ADSL modem market in Q1 99. Combined, the two vendors captured almost 60 percent of units shipped. Standards based ASDL-lite modems are expected to begin rolling out in Q3 and Q4 and should be a significant boon for the penetration of ADSL-lite services in 2000. "The digital modem market is heating up as standards based products come to market and large scale deployments begin in earnest," said Shannon Pleasant, Senior Analyst for the Data and Voice Communications Group. "We expect the next three quarters to be critical in determining the success of the market as service providers and equipment vendors deliver on their promise of megabit access for the masses." Cahners In-Stat Group also reports: -- ADSL CPE shipments increased by 30 percent sequentially, while cable modem shipments increased by 20 percent sequentially in Q1 99. -- In contrast, the Analog Modem market experienced its worst quarter ever in Q1 99 due to increased bundling, lag after the holiday season and pressure from higher speed technologies. The report, Q1 99 Analog and Digital Modem Market Analysis, no.CQ9902M7, provides quarterly market shares for analog, cable and ADSL modem vendors and three quarterly rolling forecasts for those markets.
