Handset Cost Model Subscription

Remain up to date on associated costs related to all mobile handset models

The TechInsights Handset Cost Model Subscription provides mobile service providers with a reliable insight tool that shows when costs are expected to decrease, ensuring they’re getting a fair offer from mobile handset manufacturers that isn’t unnecessarily inflated. It also provides a detailed breakdown of not only component BOM costs but also the discrete non-BOM intangible costs that are typically harder to account for—i.e., development / NRE costs, manufacturing, licensing, overheads, gross margins, SG&A, R&D and shipping costs.

TechInsights’ Handset Cost Model enables product sourcing professionals to strategically:

• Configure any product at the component level based on selectable technologies, features, and product categories.
• Predict and plan product rollouts by forecasting real costs.
• Visualize cost versus value trade-offs to make informed decisions on supplier quotes.
• Evaluate real market cost impacts- volume, time in market, and handset quality level.
• Leverage data for fair negotiations by identifying how much profit is in supplier quotes to set realistic expectations.

The Handset Cost Model helps establish a level playing field between mobile service providers and mobile handset vendors based on reliable insights built through 30+ years of experience in the semiconductor and consumer electronics industry.
