Proliferation of Wireless Tech Stokes Demand for RF Electronic Test Equipment
MOUNTAINVIEW, CA —Telecom operators’ increased adoption of wireless technology for mission-critical applications has revved up the global market for dynamic electronic general purpose (GP) test equipment. As the link between cloud networks and devices (mobile phones, tablets, notebooks) results in more complex devices under test (DUT), the need for radio frequency test equipment will only intensify.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Global Outlook for Electronic Test Equipment, finds that the market earned revenues of $3.45 billion in 2013 and estimates this to reach $4.64 billion in 2018. The study covers oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum/signal analysers, network analysers, power meters, logic analysers, electronic counters and multimeters.
