        BOSTON—While the ongoing semiconductor shortage continues to pose problems for a wide range of tech companies, Strategy Analytics is predicting an easing of the semiconductor shortage for wireless telecommunications companies. 
 
 
In the new Strategy Analytics RF & Wireless Components service report, “The Impact of the Semiconductor Shortage on Wireless Telecoms,” the researchers note that wireless telecommunications has escaped the worst effects of the semiconductor shortage, and that semiconductors for cellular infrastructure equipment will continue to dodge significant shortages going forward. 
        In addition, availability of chips for Wi-Fi access points and cellular phones will continue to improve through next year, the company reported.
        Christopher Ta ylor, Director of the RF and Wireless Components Service at Strategy Analytics and author of the report, said: “Semiconductor supply constraints will gradually ease over the remainder of 2022 and into 2023 as new foundry capacity comes online. For example, China’s semiconductor production in An increase of more than 17% in 2021, and production expansion in China will accelerate further this year, helping to alleviate global shortages. Semiconductor investments in the U.S., EU, South Korea, India and others have also begun to bear fruit and will begin in 2023 Major capacity expansion."
        Stephen Entwistle, Vice President of Strategic Technologies at Strategy Analytics, added: “Despite dynamic temporary lockdowns in some countries due to the Covid-19 pandemic, better control of the outbreak will reduce Covid-19 infection rates for the remainder of 2022. This will help To expand the staffing of semiconductor and electronics manufacturing plants and stabilize consumer demand for wireless products."
