Nomura Equity Research chip analyst Romit Shah today reiterates a Neutral rating on shares of chip maker Marvell Technology Group (MRVL), though he sounds fairly enthusiastic about the company’s prospects for next year based on the company’s newly unveiled cellular modem device for so-called LTE networks for fourth-generation (4G) wireless.
Marvell yesterday said that its “PXA1801” is the first single semiconductor to support multiple flavors of LTE (frequency division duplexing and time division duplexing) as well as existing “HSPA+” 3G and 4G networking standards, and the “CDMA” standard used by non-GSM carriers, such as Verizon Communications (VZ), not to mention the “TD-SCDMA” standard that was developed by the China for use on its networks.
Shah writes that, “Marvell is ahead of competition (ST-Ericsson and Broadcom (BRCM)) in bringing an integrated TD LTE modem to the market and seems to have narrowed the gap with Qualcomm (QCOM) in LTE leadership. In addition, we believe, this product launch would help Marvell in maintaining its leadership in the China’s growing TD-SCDMA opportunity.” The LTE baseband market is expected to rise from 8 million or so units this year to 50 million in 2013, notes Shah, citing Gartner data. That market may be worth $1 billion to $1.5 billion by 2014, he thinks.
Marvell shares are down 12 cents, or 0.9%, today at $13.38.
