The Emergence of the Wireless Communications Cluster in North Jutland

This study explores the emergence and evolution of a wireless communications cluster in North Jutland, focusing on technological life cycles and regional clustering dynamics. The research delves into the cluster's development from embryonic stages to consolidation, addressing the impact of disruptive technologies like UMTS and potential opportunities with '4G'. Through cluster analysis and examination of dimensions like geography, breadth, and depth, the study sheds light on the interplay between industry evolution and regional specialization. Additionally, it investigates disruptive technology through S-curves analysis in the established and emerging sectors.

  1. The Emergence of the Wireless Communications Cluster in North Jutland Bent Dalum Department of Business Studies Aalborg University

  2. ”TECHNOLOGICAL LIFE CYCLES: REGIONAL CLUSTERS FACING DISRUPTION” Bent Dalum, Christian Ø. R. Pedersen and Gert Villumsen DRUID Working Paper 10-2002, September 2002 www.druid.dk

  3. NorCOM (1)A technology based cluster The ‘inner’ Core: • 35-40 telecommunications firms • Knowledge institutions (AAU) • Bridging institutions & venture capital (NOVI)

  4. NorCOM (2) • 1997-99 a CLUB • Firms and university researchers, • Hosted by a science park, NOVI • www.norcom.dk • 2000- a BUSINESS ASSOCIATION • 25 firms & university researchers, • Hosted by NOVI • Financed by member firms

  5. NorCOM (3)‘Core’ technology focus • Microwaves - Radiocommunications • 1) Mobile and cordless communications (equipment) • GSM, 2+ (GPRS, EDGE) • DECT • WAP, Bluetooth • UMTS • 2) Components for mobile terminals • 3) Mobile services • 4) Maritime communications and navigation • communication (VHF, UHF & satellite) • navigation (satellite) • [5) Wired communications]

  6. Denmark • Regional specialisation – The ICT sector 1999

  7. Cluster evolution

  8. Technological life cycles The technological life cycles of the mobile communication industry

  9. Regional Clustering • The dynamics of a regional cluster • Cluster analysis dimensions • Geography • Breadth • Depth • University research and education • Ownership structure

  10. Technological life cycles • The NMT (1G) life cycle – an embryo of a cluster formed • The GSM (2G) life cycle – the regional cluster consolidated • Is UMTS (3G) a major threat? • Is ‘4G’ a major opportunity?

  11. Disruptive Technology S-curves for the established and disruptive technology
