Abstract
Summary
Powerline networking offers a solution with some advantages over coax and
twisted-pair cabling for in-home deployment, especially in regions with little
existing coax or phone line jacks, such as in EMEA, China, and many
Asia-Pacific countries. At this time, we do not believe that there will be one
clear technology winner in the networking interface race between coax, phone
line, and powerline; however, our current analysis points toward powerline as
winning on a worldwide scale. In 2005, worldwide unit shipments of broadband
powerline equipment surpassed 2 million, and the market has reached an
inflection point this year that points only upward.
This report provides worldwide unit shipment forecasts, and forecasts by
geographic region, product segment, technology, bandwidth, PHY/MAC chipset
ASP, sales by channel (retail vs. service provider), and in-home networking
vs. broadband access/utility.
