CDMA2000 extends lead for 3G services
September 11, 2003
The CDMA Development Group (CDG) announced that the 3G CDMA2000 subscriber
base reached 54 million in June, an increase of nearly four million from
the previous month. CDMA2000 and cdmaOne carriers combined added nearly
10 million subscribers in the second quarter of 2003, bringing the total
number of users to 164 million.
“3G CDMA2000 continues to dominate the global market for advanced wireless
services,” said Perry LaForge, executive director of the CDG. “Operators
worldwide recognize CDMA2000’s competitive advantage and one-third of
cdmaOne subscribers have already migrated to CDMA2000 services.”
With more than 300 percent annual subscriber growth, CDMA2000 represents
the most efficient and successful evolution for 3G and is increasing market
share across all major markets worldwide. According to the EMC World Cellular
Database, CDMA2000 is by far the most widely used technology to access
wireless data across the globe.
“The CDMA market share will continue to expand rapidly, doubling within
the next four years,” said Ken Hyers, senior analyst, In-Stat/MDR. “As
the single most dominant airlink in the United States, coupled with the
advances in Southern and Southeast Asia, the future looks very bright
for CDMA.”
CDMA2000 delivers improved voice capacity and enables carriers and handset
manufacturers to provide advanced data services for businesses and consumers,
such as wireless access to the Internet and corporate intranets; latest
games and entertainment; location-based safety and security services;
and new devices with built-in cameras, MP3 and video players.
Asia Pacific is the fastest growing CDMA2000 region in the world, fueled
by subscriber expansion in the key markets of Japan, China and India.
Specific statistics for the Asia Pacific region include:
- The Asia Pacific subscriber base for CDMA2000 and cdmaOne expanded
by nearly 18 million over the last year (June 2002 and 2003) to 63 million
subscribers; this represents a 39 percent annual growth rate.
- More than half of the total CDMA subscribers in the region use CDMA2000
technology.
- KDDI captured the lead in subscriber growth in Japan for each month
in the second quarter due to the strong demand for their CDMA2000 services.
- China Unicom reported more than 10 million CDMA2000 and cdmaOne subscribers
as of June.
- CDMA is outpacing GSM in India, adding 1.2 million new users in July
and capturing the largest share of new subscribers for any wireless technology.
This compares to 1.15 million for GSM, which has been available in India
for more than seven years.
- Korea leads the world in true broadband mobile data services with more
than 2 million CDMA2000 1xEV-DO subscribers at the end of August.
Latin America, including the Caribbean, is another rapidly expanding
market for CDMA2000:
- At the end of 2Q 2003, there were more than 29 million CDMA users in
this region, a 23 percent increase from last year.
- There are 22 commercial CDMA2000 networks in the region, and four more
will be operational by the end of 2003.
