CBEMA: Modems--Domestic Shipments
"Domestic shipments of modems in 1991 are estimated to have increased
5.8% to 2.9M units from 2.7M units in the prior year. Revenue decreased
1.3% to $1.90B from $1.92B in 1990.
`For the period 1991-2002, shipments are forecast to increase at an
average annual rate of 5.4%, reaching 5.15M units in the year 2002.
Revenue is actually expected to have peaked in 1990 at $1.92B. By 2002,
revenue is projected to be $1.54B, or decline at an average annual rate
of 1.9%."--CBEMA

Forrester Research: Cable Connections
"Recent research indicates that FDDI will finally gain acceptance at the
desktop. Forrester predicts that rapid changes in the LAN cable business
will simplify FDDI and open the door for cost reduced versions on copper
cable. Up to this point, FDDI to the desk has had a slow start. But
Forrester's research shows that users are getting ready for FDDI-over-
copper by rapidly adopting a new cable, data grade unshielded twisted
pair (UTP). Sweeping use of this cable will change the LAN business.
Data grade UTP cables were introduced only eighteen months ago, but
already account for more than one third of LAN cable shipments.
Forrester expects data grade UTP to be the winner over the next 5 years,
but it will excel at the expense of other media. Data grade will flatten
the growth of fiber, cannibalize the voice grade UTP market, and limit
the growth of STP."--Forrester Research

Forrester Research: Hub Market
"The heyday of the smart hub market may be nearing its end, according to
a recent report from Forrester. Forrester projects revenue growth for
managed hubs of only 13% in 1992, compared with 40% in 1991. Behind the
slowdown is a dramatic increase in price competition and lackluster
growth in new LAN connections, the result of slower PC shipments and a
sluggish economy. Two `hot spots' remain for hub vendors: hub cards at
the low end and `super hubs' at the high end. Super hubs are based on
switching and give users `hands off' reconfiguration for networks as
well as greater bandwidth."--Forrester Research

.TOPIC:
Forrester Research: Router Revenue
"Recent research indicates that Fortune 1,000 companies are building
what Forrester calls the `Glass Closet.' The glass closet concentrates
the building-wide LAN internetwork into a single high-performance, 30+
port router. Fortune 1,000 companies interviewed pointed out tangible
benefits of the glass closet approach: easier management, lower cost,
greater bandwidth, and access to shared devices such as gateways, front-
end processors and servers. Big routers will have a heyday as companies
build glass closets in corporate sites over the next few years. Cisco
and Wellfleet are sitting pretty. They sell most of the big routers now
and have few challengers. Most of the other vendors are focused on the
middle of the market--the part that will be squeezed in coming years.
Looking ahead, however, two important challengers will vie for the
router's role in the glass closet: 1) Next-generation smart hubs with
higher speed backplanes and integrated routing, and; 2) ATM switches.
They will put pressure on high-end routers. But Forrester expects router
vendors to hold onto 65% of glass closets through 1996."--Forrester

Forrester Research: Wide Area Wireless Data Market
"Until now, cellular networks have carried only voice and a smattering
of circuit-switched data traffic. But Forrester's study shows that new
low-cost packet data services will be combined with circuit services,
and will use the existing cellular infrastructure to carry fax,
interactive LAN, messaging and transaction traffic by mid-1993.
Forrester predicts that these networks will attract 2.6M U.S. wireless
data users by 1997--including many new users in sales and service
delivery jobs."-- Forrester Research

Information Network: Wireless Communications Market
"The U.S. market for wireless communications equipment and services will
mushroom from $1.17B in 1992 to $9.98B in 1997. The market of wireless
communications is technology driven. Many of the applications discussed
in this forecast stem from enabling technology that is reaching the
point where large market growth is anticipated. As an example, wireless
WAN technology has become viable because of three technological factors:
1. Availability of radio modems small enough to fit into a laptop or pen-
top. 2. Availability of wireless networks such as Ardis and RAM. 3.
Availability of connectivity and application software. In the U.S. and
throughout the world, there is increasing need for portability and ease
of communications. These needs have begun to create a potentially huge
market opportunity."--Information Network
