Frost & Sullivan: Analog vs. High Speed Modems: Which Modem Technology Will Best Lead Your Company to Success?
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 6 /PRNewswire/ -- After years of analog modems being the only viable option for data transmission, will high-speed modems soon take over the modem market? This seems to be the big question puzzling all companies participating in this industry.
According to recent strategic research by Frost & Sullivan, the U.S. Desktop Modem Market generated $1.27 billion in revenues in 1997, up 24 percent from 1996. Revenues are forecast to grow continuously through the forecast year of 2004, driven by factors such as increased Internet usage, increasing number of telecommuters, arrival of a 56 kbps modem standard from the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), and the shift from analog to high-speed modems.
For the purpose of providing a more extensive and in-depth market analysis, this research divides the modem market into two segments, namely the desktop analog modem market and the high-speed modem market. Both markets are then examined for issues driving market growth and for issues and trends expected to challenge market players in each market. As analog and high-speed modems continue to fight for their share of the entire market, it remains imperative that current market players and those considering entrance into this lucrative market remain educated about the latest factors affecting each market.
Although limited availability has hurt high-speed modem growth in the past, many issues are driving growth including deployment of push technologies, changing nature of the Internet and increased demand for remote access. According to Frost & Sullivan Information Technology Research Analyst Rufus Connell, ''With the proliferation of the Internet and knowledge workers' use of increasingly large files, demand for high-speed modems has skyrocketed.'' The majority of manufacturers have recently announced plans to market at least one of the high-speed modem technologies.
This strategic research study also includes invaluable suggestions for competitive benchmarking, strategies for marketing, sales, R&D and management. Armed with this information, every aspect of your company, from the board of directors to front-line salespeople, will be able to make informed decisions and well though-out plans to improve your company's position in the U.S. Desktop Modem Market.
Technologies covered in this study include: 28.8 and lower Kbps modems, 33.6 Kbps modems, 56 Kbps modems, multiple line modems, xDSL modems, cable modems, and ISDN terminal adapters.
