I have been an avid reader of the Rutberg & Co. Research and the Wireless Industry Newsletter (you can subscribe here if you do not already subscribe). The recent September edition has some interesting numbers on the financing and M&A activities:
During the one month period from September 1 through September 30, 38 private wireless companies announced $324 million in new financings. Investments were primarily in the carrier infrastructure, semiconductor, enterprise infrastructure, and enterprise application sectors. There were also 37 M&A transactions announced during the period, including Alcatel's $250 million acquisition of Spatial Wireless, Broadcom's $125 million acquisition of Alphamosaic, and Qualcomm's $170 million acquisition of Iridigm Display...
As illustrated by the M&A activity in September, we find that the level and average valuations of mergers and acquisitions in wireless has increased materially over the past year. As we look forward to the next one-to-two years, we believe that M&A activity is likely to increase, and that transactions of $100 million or greater are possible across several subsectors. Illustrative such subsectors include: mobile broadband equipment, broadband wireless access equipment, mobile content services, enterprise WLAN equipment, and enterprise RFID solutions...
Separately, we are impressed, and pleasantly surprised, by the traction within the metro mesh WiFi subsector. We believe that the recent surge of government interest and deployments in metro mesh WiFi indicates a material near-term equipment opportunity that is far in excess of our previous expectations. Finally, we continue to believe that mobile video represents a meaningful mobile data opportunity for carriers and content providers, even outside of Asia, and find positive theses for selected mobile video related subsectors...
Also quick recent post by Om Malik on the Rutberg September Report.
Private wireless companies are making thousands of euros each year because they are able to increase the number of customers.
