Market for Wireless Multimedia Networking to Exceed
50 Million Units by 2010
Next-generation Wi-Fi® and Ultra-wideband (UWB) solutions
technologies will spur growth
Industry adoption of next-generation specifications will provide a
substantial boost to the market for wireless multimedia networking,
prompting growth in excess of 50 million wireless network devices by 2010,
according to
The
Wireless Multimedia LAN: Requirements and Outlook. This new report
from Parks Associates predicts that annual sales and shipments of wireless
multimedia-capable devices, including home networking gears, personal
computers, and fixed and mobile consumer electronics, will grow from 2.5
million units in 2006 to nearly 52 million units by year-end 2010, due in
large part to standardization in the market.
“Multiple factors are driving the move by both manufacturers and
service providers in embracing wireless connectivity,” said
Kurt Scherf, vice
president and principal analyst with Parks Associates. “Service providers
are looking for greater ownership in developing home networking solutions,
operators need to reduce CAPEX costs in deploying home networking
equipment, new content services are on the rise, and consumers are
invariably in favor of eliminating cables. These are all positive signs
that the 802.11n and WiMedia solutions – among the many home networking
options – will continue to drive growth in new home networking
applications.”
The
Wireless Multimedia LAN: Requirements and Outlook is a
comprehensive industry report that probes the features and applications of
next-generation Wi-Fi 802.11n technology, examines market requirements for
wireless multimedia networking, compares and contrasts competing
technologies, analyzes industry issues and the competitive landscape, and
predicts market size and demand for a variety of wireless multimedia
applications, including home networking equipment, computers, and fixed
and mobile entertainment CE devices.
