Interoperability era for T&M equipment
T&M equipment vendors supply equipment that is designed to work accurately with a variety of products. The customers often install the products themselves and show a preference towards devices with greater interoperability. T&M products made for home gateways, video monitors, home networking/automation, and smoke alarms products make use of GPTE equipment to ensure interoperability. Technavio analysts forecast a boost in the GPTE market, with set standards being installed to ensure interoperability.
Increase in outsourcing activities
The progress in technologies from 2G to more advanced technologies such as LTE and LTE-A has created the demand for continuous maintenance and quality testing of frequency and spectrum. Various vendors outsource the quality testing to external entities to ensure enhanced quality of service for their customers.
“GPTE vendors benefit from the outsourcing testing and maintenance of equipment since it opens up new avenues for revenue generation for them. The expansion of their core business offerings means a clear growth for the market,” says Anju.
