Commissioned by the Wireless Innovation Forum - September 2005

This report, The Cellular Industry-Terminals and Infrastructure, provides a
comprehensive look at the largest potential market segment for SDR technologies.

Commissioned by the Wireless Innovation Forum - March 2005

This report is the first of a series of SDR market studies commissioned by the Wireless Innovation Forum. The work to create these SDR market study reports is divided into two phases and multiple tasks. This first task of the current work phase is to "segment and size" the most promising market segments with rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimates and general segment discussions. Follow-on tasks will provide more detailed segmentation and sizing for each segment and more detailed analysis of requirements, drivers, issues, and business models.
