Forward Concepts, the premier market research firm tracking markets based on digital signal processing (DSP) technology, is pleased to present the third annual edition of what we feel is the definitive study of the markets for wireless local area network (WLAN) systems and the integrated circuits that make it possible. The new edition has been updated and expanded by 100 pages to forecast VoWi-Fi and WiMAX markets as well.
Despite continual declines in chip and equipment prices, the WLAN market continues robust growth. Based on product reviews and interviews with dozens of companies involved in the WLAN and WiMAX markets, the report provides detailed forecasts through 2009 of all market segments, including Access Points (APs) and base stations (WiMAX), Network Interface Cards (NICs), Wireless Router Gateways (WRGs), and the chipsets enabling the entire WLAN and WiMAX networks. Units, average selling prices (ASPs), and total revenue are forecast for every market segment. Detailed vendor market shares (in revenue and units) in almost every key category are provided.
In addition, the report includes WLAN profiles of all major equipment providers, including Taiwan ODMs. Profiles of chip vendors for both WLAN and WiMAX are provided for baseband/PHY and MAC suppliers as well as those of RF and power amplifier chips. Uniquely, the report not only provides details of chip vendor market shares for each chip class, but also indicates which chip vendor’s products are shipping to what equipment vendors, and which equipments are re-branded and sold under other vendor’s names.
The report discusses many new markets enabled by WLAN technology, including how cable phones in the home will finally make sense, the growth of converged WLAN/cellphones and Home Multimedia TV Networks. And we also forecast the embedded WLAN markets for those applications, along with Notebooks, PDAs, cameras, and much more.
We believe that this 392-page report is the most thorough on the market and we encourage you to scan the detailed table of contents to see its incredible depth.
