Over 289 million UWB chipsets to ship in 2010
28 June 2006
News
According to new In-Stat figures, PCs will be the initial and largest volume market for UWB wireless chipsets, with PC vendors shipping over 125 million desktop and laptop PCs with UWB capability by 2010.
The personal area network (PAN) has been waiting for a wireless solution to complement the established wired applications, says the research group. This is a promising technology that is necessary to transmit large data files found in computers or in consumer electronics applications. With UWB, consumers will be able to get rid of their rats' nests of wires in the living room or near their PC, explains In-Stat.
According to its Residential Connectivity research, UWB chipsets will first start appearing in wireless USB dongles in late 2006. From there, the usage will start to show up as PCMCIA cards that go into the PC motherboard. The group notes that the last form-factor to see widespread adoption of UWB, will be in cellphones.
