Communications & Wireless

The Internet and cellular communications have combined to transform the communication & wireless market during the last two decades, and developments such as Cloud computing, IPTV, wireless broadband, location-based services and the “Internet of Things” look set to drive continued change during the next decade. IMS Research offers a portfolio of market research services in this area to address your needs in understanding these trends and the market implications.

We have been actively tracking the communication and wireless markets since the early 1990s.

Our coverage is very broad but also extremely detailed with dedicated research groups focusing on cellular, broadband and networking, GPS & location—based services, mobile radio, and wireless connectivity. Our analysts for these groups are all based at our offices in locations in Europe, China and the US. 

All of our communication and wireless reports and services use a rigorous, proven research process, supported by the close cooperation of end-equipment and wireless IC suppliers. Furthermore we have an in-house ongoing data collection process with telecoms operators and national communication regulators that results in us having a vast database of subscriber data, license allocation data and frequency plans. 

Our annual reports on Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy, Land Mobile Radio and Tetra have become benchmarks for the industry in terms of detail and accuracy. As well as semi-custom reports we also offer highly detailed on-line databases covering the broadband market and the cellular market. Further, we offer quarterly tracking services in areas such as GPS, alternative location, broadband communications and mobile radio.
