REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A recently published report by Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, indicates that the mobile RAN market recorded its second straight quarter of year-over-year (Y/Y) growth, as increases in LTE offset declines in both 2G and 3G technologies.

"We are seeing an increased focus on the RAN and maintain our outlook that the market will develop positively in 2013, even though we expect Wireless Capex to grow at a slower rate than it did in 2012," said Stefan Pongratz, Director of Mobile RAN Research at Dell'Oro Group. "If we look at the product mix, the launch of commercial public access small cells in the licensed spectrum continued to be pushed out this quarter, while macro BTSs generated Y/Y unit growth in 1Q13. We expect the macro BTS segment to reach new record levels in 2013 as Service Providers continue to prioritize LTE coverage and network modernization," added Pongratz.

The new Report shows that Ericsson, with a four-quarter trailing revenue share of almost 40 percent in the combined WCDMA/LTE market, remained the market share leader in Mobile Broadband. Huawei and Nokia Siemens Networks maintained their number two and number three rankings in the combined WCDMA/LTE market.
