Abstract
Bluetooth to date has been the single most successful short range wireless
technology and therefore Bluetooth is central to this report. However, the
wireless communications industry is converging and "wireless coexistence" is
now vital to the future success of a large number of companies in this
industry.
This is where ICs with multiple wireless functionality come in; whereas once
the argument was about which technology will win in which applications, recent
announcements from companies who are now combining multiple radios on a single
IC, suggest the industry has progressed beyond this.
This report combines detailed unit shipment information, ASPs and revenues for
12 combination ICs including Bluetooth/FM/WLAN, Bluetooth/UWB,
Bluetooth/GPS/FM and WiMax/WLAN. In addition there is a comprehensive focus on
how various combination ICs will penetrate into 7 end-equipment markets
including cellular handsets, notebook PCs and personal media players (PMPs).
The report includes:
- Detailed unit shipments, ASP and revenues for 12 combination ICs from 2006
to 2011.
- Bluetooth is central to this report therefore there is a specific focus on
Bluetooth end-equipment and IC shipments.
- Comprehensive focus on 7 end-equipment markets including cellular
handsets, notebooks and PMPs.
- Detailed technology review for 7 technologies including technical
specification, standards evolution and current markets served.
- 36 supplier profiles consider wireless products, markets served and public
announcements on combination ICs.
- A competitive environment provides an independent overview on which
companies are well placed to proceed with combination ICs.
