Broadband drives millimeter wave growth (Market News)

Over the next five years, the total millimeter wave and high frequency market including module level equipment and components is set to grow at 29% per year from $3.5 billion in 2000 to $12.4 billion by 2005. ABI cites explosive growth in applications such as LMDS and broadband satellite systems. In addition, automotive applications such as collision warning radar will also gain in importance. Shipments of these systems, which use GaAs MMICs operating at 76 GHz, are expected to exceed a total of 1 million units in trucks and passenger cars within five years. In the near term, LMDS will be the key market driver. While only accounting for 9% of the market at present, this application is expected to grow at a rate of 30% over the next five years. High expectations still prevail for broadband satellite systems, says ABI. Although MMDS and fixed wireless systems operating at 3.5 and 5.8 GHz could temper satellite sales, total shipments of broadband customer premise equipment are still expected to exceed 2 million units in 2005. Driving these applications will be further advances in high frequency GaAs MMICs. The market for these devices will exceed $200 million in the next five years.
