Alcatel-Lucent Remains CDMA Leader

Alcatel-Lucent remains the leader in the CDMA space according to Dell’Oro’s latest Mobility Infrastructure report.

Not only does Dell’Oro place Alcatel-Lucent as the historical leader in CDMA (leading in CDMA revenues since 3Q’01), the industry analyst firm also acknowledges that Alcatel-Lucent has reinforced its number one position on a quarterly basis, growing its market share - as measured by revenue - to more than 40% in 2Q’10. 

Dell’Oro Group’s Scott Siegler confirms this trend, highlighting in a recent report that, over the last couple of quarters, the availability of more capable 3G CDMA devices has resulted in CDMA operators experiencing a large surge in the data traffic on their networks.

He expects this data growth to continue, leading to renewed investments in modernizing older CDMA equipment and upgrading the capacity of service providers’ footprint.
