Abstract
Summary
Video distribution using HomePNA technology offers a flexible solution with
some advantages for in-home deployment. Unlike other regions, this is
especially true in North America where jacks for coax and phoneline are
prevalent in most homes. Currently, on a worldwide basis, we do not believe
that there will be one clear technology winner in the networking interface
race between HomePNA, MoCA, and powerline; however, any technology that can
operate over multiple mediums will have an edge. HomePNA is gathering new
momentum with its new 3.1 specification that includes operation over coax and
phoneline, as well as AT&T's emerging deployments. Migration is underway from
the lower-speed HomePNA 2 to HomePNA 3, and we expect worldwide shipments for
HomePNA 3 will exceed 200% growth in 2007.
This report provides information about manufacturers, trials and deployments,
and trends that are shaping the growing HomePNA networking medium. Discussions
of market trends, technology trends, suppliers, and service provider
deployments are provided, in addition to five-year worldwide and North
American forecasts for residential video distribution networking using HomePNA
over coax and phoneline. The model and forecast for whole-home DVR deployment
over all mediums supplements the forecast of annual whole-home DVR deployments
using HomePNA, as well as worldwide silicon forecasts for HomePNA by standard.
All forecasts are extended through 2010.
