Abstract
As the wireless connectivity protocols mature and gain market acceptance, the
differentiation between Bluetooth, WiFi, and UWB begin to blur within the
wireless industry. Many of the same players involved in promoting and
developing UWB-based wireless connectivity options are deeply embedded in the
furtherance of the IEEE 802.11 family of specifications that drive Wi-Fi as a
competitive alternative in the wireless connectivity arena. While each
protocol and technology under development today will eventually find its own
unique application and niche within the market, the component OEMs are
maintaining their stake in the various initiatives as a means to ensure a
place in the wireless connectivity market. The question looming over the
emergence of UWB products today is related to the mechanism by which
significant adoption will be stimulated. The key to this is strong application
developer activity.
The newly issued WTRS UWB Emerging Technology Report analyzes and forecasts
the market for Ultra Wideband (UWB) technologies in connectivity applications.
Analysis includes an assessment of market by UWB protocol (e.g. DS-UWB from
GiT, CWave UWB from Pulse~Link, and MB-OFDM UWB from the WiMedia Alliance),
the Certified Wireless USB I/F, WiMedia Alliance, high speed Bluetooth, and
CWave UWB. The report also includes global & regional market trends &
forecasts, regulatory issues, standards development, economic effects, and
strategic developments. Finally, a 5-year forecast detailing sales volume,
unit shipments, and average selling price by vertical technology segment
provides data that can be used to build business or product plans.
