Wi-Fi in Consumer Electronics: The Swiss Army Knife Technology Wi-Fi’s popularity in mobile PCs and home networks has not guaranteed its success in consumer electronics (CE). Many issues plagued early products with Wi-Fi including lack of consumer awareness, ease-of-use, battery life, throughput and range limitations, and high cost. Most of these concerns have now been addressed, and the cost of embedding Wi-Fi into devices has decreased significantly. Furthermore, the finalization of IEEE 802.11n in late 2009 will remedy the technical issues associated with 802.11b/g, which limited the integration of Wi-Fi into devices with more complex applications like video.
Because of its large installed base in mobile PCs and home networks, Wi-Fi deserves strong consideration as a solution to bring content into the living room, even as a companion technology. Its broad flexibility and utility, as well as its large and mature ecosystem, make Wi-Fi a valued, “Swiss army knife” technology for the CE market.
This report covers the global market for CE devices with Wi-Fi for 20 different applications within 7 device categories: home aggregators, external clients, mobile PCs, stationary CE, PC peripherals, portable CE, and handsets. The report provides annual shipment forecasts for the total available market, as well as the penetration of Wi-Fi, for each device through 2012. It also includes a brief discussion of 802.11n, WPAN, and competing wireless technologies.

Date Published: Sep 2008 * * * * * * Wireless Communications Technologies And Solutions Wireless is a huge part of the telecommunication technology, which consists of those technologies involving radio waves, infrared waves and microwaves, instead of cables or wires to carry a signal to connect communication devices. The distances involved may be short (a few meters as in television remote control), form a Personal Area Network (PAN), extend to cover a small geographical area (a home, office or a group of building to form the Local Area Network), span cities (ranging from several blocks of buildings to entire cities) to form a Metropolitan Area Network, or cover a broad area (i.e., any network whose communications links cross metropolitan, regional, or national boundaries) to form a Wide Area Network. Wireless technology enables users to physically move while using an appliance, such as a handheld PC, personal digital assistant, paging device, or phone.
WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIES AND SOLUTIONS introduces many technologies for each one of the above network types. This publication will outline the technologies used for each type, the coverage area provided by each technology, limitation of each technology, and the trend in each one of the above network types. This publication will also evaluate real applications that have been deployed by real vendors and give predictions concerning what application will become very valuable in the next 3-5 years for each technology. Finally, this paper addresses machine technology (M2M), and the different M2M solutions provided in all fields such as Transport and logistics, Retail, Utilities, Security and Construction.
Target audience
