Semiconductors
Most of the essential elements of modern telecommunication are built from MOSFETs (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors), including mobile devices, transceivers, base station modules, routers, RF power amplifiers, microprocessors, memory chips, and telecommunication circuits. As of 2005, telecommunications equipment account for 16.5% of the annual microprocessor market.
Vendors
The world's largest telecommunications equipment vendors by revenues in 2017 are:
In addition to the global suppliers, Indian companies such as HFCL provide telecom equipment and fibre-optic connectivity solutions for service providers, enterprises, and public-sector networks.
