 Electronic T&M Market to Reach $4.5 billion by 2010 The global electronic test and measurement instruments market is projected to reach 4.0 million units generating sales worth US$4.5 billion in 2010, according to Global Industry Analysts Inc. Electronic test and measurement instruments demand has traditionally been propped up by growth in telecommunications industry. As the largest end-use market, telecommunication networks are exceedingly dependent on the functionality of electronic test and measurement instruments, as the minutest distortion of signals can result in failure to communicate. Establishment of new networks in developing economies and the need to upgrade existing communication infrastructure are the major demand drivers for electronic test and measurement instruments market. Volt/Am/Watt meters market, the largest and fastest growing segment, is projected to account for 3.0 million units by 2010. Unit demand for oscilloscopes (digital, analogue and PC-based) is projected to grow at 1.5% over the forecast period 2001-2010. Oscilloscopes market, in value terms, represents the largest and fastest growing segment over the analysis period 2001-2010, expanding at a CAGR of 2.1% during the period. Communications industry represents the largest consumer of electronic test and measurement instruments through 2001-2010. The industry demand is projected to reach 1.2 million units by 2010. Industrial electronics and automotive denotes the fastest growing end-use industry for electronic test and measurement instruments, expanding at a CAGR of 3.1% through 2001-2010. As per the findings of the new report, definite shift in telecommunications market towards 3G mobile systems has opened up a world of opportunities for select product segments capable of high-resolution measurements such as signal analyzers. Future demand for electronic test and measurement instruments is expected to stem from new emerging application areas in communication, such as, satellite-based personal networks, home automation networks, wireless local area networks, and wireless Internet. Surge in the upcoming years will be fuelled by growth in electronics, telecom, personal entertainment, and Internet infrastructure industries. The trend towards faster Internet connectivity, advanced wireless telecom features, Internet-ready phones, high-speed networks, and deployment of highly sophisticated computers are some of the factors expected to lead to a spurt in innovations in electronic test and measurement technology.

Mobile Computing CAD Files: Openmoko, creator of the first
completely open mobile computing platform, expanded the meaning of Open
Source by posting the industrial design source files for its Neo
branded mobile phones. Industrial design artists now have the same
freedom as software engineers. Openmoko’s source code was freed in
February 2007, allowing complete transformation of its mobile phone
software. Now, by publishing mechanical CAD files, Openmoko frees
industrial designers to fundamentally redesign the Neo branded mobile
phones to fit their vision and market needs. Manufacturing:
The Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) announced the availability
of its new downloadable 2008 SME publications catalogue. Manufacturing
engineers and other practitioners can now have immediate access to this
comprehensive catalogue, which features more than 370 books, DVDs,
study packages and CD-ROM products for purchase. Some highlights of the
catalogue’s 20 new products include DVDs on manufacturing’s hot topics
such as What Lean Means, Incorporating Lean from the Factory to Front
Office, Medical Applications of Rapid Prototyping, Minimum Quantity
Lubrication and Advanced Robotic Welding. |
