Abstract
The past 12 months have been a breakout year for cellular modems. The market has grown by over 167% from 2003 to 2004, based on data from the first three quarters of 2004 and estimates of the final quarter of the year. The impetus for the dramatic growth seen in 2004, and for even more rapid growth projected in later years, is a result of the build out of high-speed wireless (3G) networks, particularly UMTS networks in Western Europe, and growing corporate demand for wireless data services in both North America and Europe.

In-Stat/MDR projects that by 2009 more than 14 million wireless modems will be shipped worldwide, up from slightly more than 2.5 million in 2004. Most of that growth will come from cellular modem cards (primarily PCMCIA cards intended to be inserted into PCMCIA slots in notebook computers). However, beginning in 2006 the market for embedded cellular modems in notebooks will begin to grow, and by 2009 the number of embedded cellular modems will equal the number of cellular modem cards shipped.
