Principal Analyst Joe Madden noted, "The TD-LTE base station forecast will defy gravity in 2015, with strong ongoing deployment by China Mobile.  The short term forecast indicates that production will run at top speed, but later we will see certain products drop dramatically."

"More than 40 customers have been asking us when the party will end in China.  We now have clear visibility into the frequency band plan, site re-use plans, and ongoing commitments by China Mobile, as well as new production with China Unicom, China Telecom, Sprint, Vodafone, and others.  We see a drop in volume coming, and we have the details of how this will happen to help our customers to avoid inventory exposure."

Though the fundamentals for the LTE market are sound, the market needs to adjust downward from its current surge of production for one operator.  The semiconductor market for wireless infrastructure will go through a painful period of readjustment.  Mobile Experts has a detailed view of the balance between macro base stations and other RAN options such as small cells and indoor solutions, so that we can estimate volume for specific frequency bands and power levels.

The complete forecast includes a market study document and a detailed Excel model, with more than 60 tables, charts and figures, including:

• Shifting spending from macro to in-building options;
• Base Station deployment numbers for 2013-2019;
• Base Station Transceiver shipments by air interface;
• Remote Radio Head (RRH) shipments;
• Transceiver Shipments by frequency band;
• Transceiver Shipments by MIMO mode, including 2x2, 4x2, 4x4, and 8x8;
• Analysis of Spectrum Refarming for LTE and its impact;
• Regional forecasts for transceiver deployment;
• Transceiver Shipments by power level; and
• OEM market shares, based on radio shipments instead of revenue share.
