Abstract

After the velvet revolution in 1989, most Central and Eastern European coun-tries started modernising their telecom network infrastructure because teledensity in some sparsely populated rural areas could not reach one percent.

A full wireline network (copper, cable or fibre) is too expensive. For this reason, wireless local loop (WLL) has been used in the region since 1995. Many countries need to improve their infrastructure quickly to play an active role in the European Union and in the global marketplace.

This Frost & Sullivan report analyses the WLL markets in Europe, mainly Central and Eastern European countries. The market is divided into two seg-ments: equipment suppliers and service providers. It is projected that a majority of revenues in the early forecast period will come from equipment, while service providers will make up a majority of revenues later in the forecast period. This report equips you with the most reliable, up-to-date market information available.

Economic and Political Stability Challenges Market

The first major challenge this market faces is a lack of project financing. "The lack of project financing, on behalf of governments and private network operators, slows contract negotiations for WLL systems," states the author of this report.

Currency devaluation is another major concern. In cases where vendors have financing, the risk is still high because of uncertainty about returns on investments. "Most of the expenditure for WLL equipment is completed in dollars, while the revenues they earn are in local currencies," states the author. "In a period of instability, network operators may delay investment decisions, for fear of not being able to recoup the costs of the infrastructure."

Infrastructure to Determine Telecom Services

An array of technologies, including fixed wireless, fibre and satellite, is expected to satisfy the demand for telecom services in Central and Eastern Europe. Infrastructure, or the lack thereof, will determine which access technologies will be used. In sparsely populated areas, deploying WLL is likely more economically advantageous.Whereas in urban areas, however, WLL will probably to face strong competition from other access technologies, since current and new operators are investing in state-of-the-art cable and fibre networks.

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the current market situation in Central and Eastern Europe. It is designed to guide companies through the twist and turns this market takes. It can help your company find the best path to reach its goals.
