Abstract
The market for Ultrawideband (UWB) silicon is finally beginning to take off in
2007. Though regulatory hurdles still persist worldwide, the first UWB-enabled
notebook PCs have shipped this year from Dell, Lenovo, and Toshiba. In
addition, hub and dongle solutions are shipping in the aftermarket from
vendors such as Belkin, D-Link, and IOGear.
The primary question for UWB now is: Will other product segments follow where
PCs lead? UWB is a very flexible technology in that it supports multiple
standards, including WUSB, Bluetooth 3.0, IP over UWB, and Video over UWB.
This should enable the technology to gain design wins in a wide range of
product segments, including PC peripherals, Consumer Electronics (CE), and
mobile phones.
This report contains analysis and annual shipment forecasts through 2011 for
the penetration of UWB into 26 separate applications within the following
product segments: PC, PC peripheral, CE, Communications, and
Industrial/Medical. The forecast for UWB into each application is broken down
by WiMedia UWB and proprietary UWB penetration. Profiles of leading UWB chip
vendors and IP suppliers are included.
