Forward Concepts, the premier market research firm tracking markets based on digital signal processing (DSP) technology, is pleased to present what we feel is the definitive study of the markets for wireless local area network (WLAN) systems and the integrated circuits that make it all possible.
Shipments of WLAN products increased over 100% in 2002, and will continue growing as the stellar wireless market performer for the next several years. Based on our survey and interviews with dozens of companies involved in the WLAN market, this report provides detailed forecasts through 2006 of all market segments, including Access Points (APs), Network Interface Cards (NICs), Broadband Router Gateways (BBRGs) embedded mobile products, and the chipsets enabling the entire WLAN network. Units, average selling prices (ASPs), and total revenue are forecast for every market segment.
Detailed vendor market shares (in revenue and units) in every category are provided, for 2001, 2002 and even for the second half of 2002…since the market is changing so fast.
Breakouts are included for the residential, enterprise, and embedded market segments --- covering both client-side and infrastructure sales. In addition, the report includes company profiles of significant equipment and chip providers on a global basis.
Uniquely, this report also details which chip vendor’s products are shipping to what equipment vendors, and which equipments are re-branded and sold under other vendor’s names.
In the report, we forecast the blazing “hot spot” market that began with Starbucks Coffee and has blossomed globally to thousands of spots, and is still growing at a rapid rate. Both service sites and service subscribers are forecast along with our estimates of the installed base and 2002 hot spot growth of the top dozen or so service providers, worldwide.
The report discusses many new market possibilities, including how the Tablet PC market will finally be enabled, principally because of WLAN technology, and how cable phones in the home will finally make sense because of WLAN. And we also forecast the embedded WLAN markets for those Tablet PCs and cable phones, along with Notebooks, PDAs, cellphones, cameras, and VoIP phones.
The 225-page report is the most thorough on the market and we encourage you to scan the table of contents to see the incredible depth.
