3G continues to drive growth in Chinas wireless communication equipment industry, with suppliers responding by improving functionality and technology applications. In some segments, development is directed at releases emphasizing W-CDMA, CDMA2000 and TDSCDMA standards to replace GSM units. Makers are also leveraging their capability to customize products and are slowly moving toward the creation of proprietary solutions.
Small companies will be investing in R&D enhancements and collaborating with universities. Those eyeing the upscale segment, particularly tier 1 makers, will be integrating more functions such as camera modules, Wi-Fi and fax capability, and adopting new solutions and procurement strategies to lower expenses.
Suppliers are optimistic about the industry's prospects with regard to exports, projecting a 30 to 40 percent increase in shipments.
With 3G's broadening adoption worldwide, many countries and regions are installing or planning to establish the wireless distribution technology.
In emerging markets, growth will be driven by the rapid development of mobile communication. Target destinations in coming months will be Africa and some countries in the Asia-Pacific region such as India, Vietnam, Indonesia.
The following are some of the key trends observed in Chinas wireless communication equipment industry:
- Large enterprises are investing additional resources of up to 50 percent to support product development. Others are shortening the design and customization process. Those emphasizing the low-end and midrange segments are implementing various cost-cutting measures.
- Manufacturers are enhancing monitoring functions and the usage of embedded solutions to support the widening adoption of digital wireless repeaters.
- Product development activities for new outdoor and indoor models are already in the pipeline.
- 3G WLAN antennas will soon edge out 2G application as demand for the latter wanes. The first application, combined with Wi-Fi, is gaining popularity as telecom carriers develop capabilities toward the former.
- Makers of base station antennas are focusing on multiband, decorative and high-end AED models to address rising demand.
- Companies are investing in R&D projects and exploring potential niche markets to stay afloat amid fierce price competition. In recent months, suppliers have been driven to push up quotes, although others managed to lower, or even maintain, rates.

To produce this report, Global Sources surveyed a wide range of suppliers Rather than focus simply on representative sample of large, midsize and emerging manufacturers All by Global Sources.
Each supplier is confirmed to be authentic with a legally registered business. All companies are visited three or more times to ensure they are export-ready and have real offices and products.
The listed contact person has been verified to represent the registered company. In each case, companies were required to answer specific questions designed to verify their manufacturing and export credentials.
All profiled suppliers participated in a survey designed to provide insight into product and price trends, and challenges facing the industry. All survey questions are single choice. Suppliers are ranked based on a 6-star ranking system. Companies with a higher star ranking provide more business information and verification reports on their Global Sources online homepages.
