Abstract

The paper presents the technology trajectory of competitive wireless technologies in wireless industry. We attempt to trace the trajectory of wireless technologies with historical data, and then analyze its pattern. As a preliminary result, we find that there exists network effect and substitution effect in the trajectory. Our result can provide insight to wireless service providers where best to focus its efforts for maximizing overall gain in their networks as well as when to establish the transition strategy towards the next generation wireless network technologies.

이 논문은 무선통신 산업에 있어서 경쟁하의 무선통신기술의 진화 경로를 밝히고자 하였습니다. 저자는 과거 자료를 분석하기위해 로가렛분석(Loglet Analysis) 기법을 도입하였습니다. 초기 연구결과는 기술경로상에서 네트워크 효과와 대체효과가 존재한다는 것입니다. 이 논문의 결과는 무선통신 서비스 사업자에게 그들의 네트워크에서 이익을 최대화할 수 있는 방향과 차세대 무선통신기술 이전 전략을 수립하는데 이용될 수 있을 것입니다.
