Abstract
The underlying drivers for residential entertainment video distribution
networking (video LAN) are the whole-home DVR and the no-new-wires effort. The
whole-home DVR offers consumers added benefits and viewing flexibility, and
can drive down costs for carriers, while the basis for the no-new-wires effort
is also to lower deployment costs.
While this report primarily focuses on the LAN, it analyzes the size of the
home networking-over-coax opportunity (LAN and WAN access) by triangulating
perspectives from demand-side consumer research, and supply-side equipment
vendors and service providers. Models from these differing perspectives are
provided in great detail to show how the case for each was developed. Home LAN
over coax is primarily a North American opportunity, while WAN access over
coax opportunities are primarily in Asia.
Discussions of market trends, technology trends, suppliers, and service
provider deployments are provided, in addition to five-year forecasts for
residential video distribution networking over coax and WAN access over coax.
The model and forecast for whole-home DVR deployment over all mediums
supplements the aggressive and conservative forecasts of annual whole-home DVR
deployments using coax, and worldwide chipset and PHY forecasts for home
networking over coax. All forecasts are extended through 2010.
