Huawei leads European LTE base station equipment market


By Telecom Lead Team: Chinese gear maker
Huawei has surpassed Ericsson and Nokia Siemens Networks to emerge as top
European LTE base station equipment vendor in 2011.  The Chinese equipment
maker rose from half the number of European LTE base station deployments as
Ericsson in 2010 to its European competitors, according to NPD In-Stat.

 

Ericsson and Nokia Siemens Networks will
grab second and third spots respectively in the market in 2011. With 90 percent
the trio dominates the LTE base station equipment market.

 

Samsung is far behind the top three with
less than 1 percent share in European LTE base station equipment market in
2011. The company was expected to lead the Asia Pacific region.

 

“Success in a region is less about the
region and more about the success with individual carriers, especially the
large carriers. Almost of half of Huawei’s 2011 LTE base station success for
example was the result of Huawei’s work with Vodafone in Germany,” said
Chris Kissel, senior analyst.

 

“The market is far from static though.
Alcatel-Lucent and ZTE promise to grab share in the future. Additionally, 16
percent of deployments in 2015 have yet to have a LTE equipment vendor
selected,” Kissel added.
