Manufacturers will begin shipping Ultrawideband (UWB) chipsets in 2H06 and shipments are expected to ramp up with a total of 289 million chipsets shipping in the year 2010, reported IT research firm In-Stat.
In-Stat said PCs will be the initial and largest volume market for UWB wireless chipsets, with PC vendors shipping over 125 million desktop and laptop PCs with UWB capability.
"The Personal Area Network (PAN) has been waiting for a wireless solution to complement the established wired applications," says Chris Kissel, In-Stat analyst. "This nascent technology is necessary to transmit large data files found in computers or in consumer electronics applications. UWB allows consumers to get rid of their rats’ nests of wires in the living room or near their PC."
The key finding of the research dubbed "Ultrawideband: The Calm Before the Norm" are:
UWB chipsets will first start appearing in wireless USB dongles in late 2006.
From there, the usage will start to show up as PCMCIA cards that go into the PC motherboard.
The last form factor to see widespread adoption of UWB will be cell phones.
