WTRS Press Release

Importance of Identifying Market Makers for UWB, Bluetooth, WirelessHD, and WiFi are Critical for End Product Companies.

A new WTRS Device2Device Wireless Technology Trends Report examines the market potential, effectiveness of existing technologies and components, global & regional market trends & forecasts, outstanding regulatory issues, progress of defacto standards development, regional economic effects, and strategic developments of market makers.

Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) November 28, 2006 -- WTRS's new Wireless Connectivity Technology Trends Report includes a thorough evaluation of emerging Wireless Connectivity technologies including both "Wireless Connectivity" and other applications of millimeter wave wireless, UWB, Bluetooth, and IEEE 802.11n.

"There is an overall race to develop wireless technologies which will satisfy the next generation of device to device wireless connectivity for both the high volume consumer applications as well as for the intertwined mobile and computing markets," says Dr Kirsten West, Principal Analyst of WTRS. "As the world moves towards a tighter convergence of computing products and mass market consumer electronics, the importance of defining the market makers in the wireless component world becomes critical for end product companies."

The Device2Device Wireless Technology Trends Report WTRS uncovers:

(1) The relative market adoption of Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11n, Certified Wireless USB, DS-UWB, CWave, WirelessHD, and HomePlug.
(2) Analysis of consumer adoption characteristics of Device2Device Wireless-enabled products.
(3) An analysis of the emergence of WirelessHD and the underlying SiBeam technology.
(4) Device2Device Wireless market makers.
(5) Analysis of Device2Device Wireless use cases, by technology.
(6) The effect of the adoption of new radio protocols into the Bluetooth standard.
(7) The regulatory influences on the productization of Certified Wireless USB.
(8) Metro WiFi as a stimulant of general end user wireless adoption.
(9) Analysis of the Certified Wireless USB I/F, WiMedia Alliance, HomePlug Alliance, UWB Forum, Bluetooth SiG, WiFi Alliance, and WirelessHD.

Device2Device Wireless systems utilize wireless technologies as the underlying platform to deploy networks for data and multimedia content delivery over distances confined by 30 meters. Examples of technologies and protocols included in the Wireless Connectivity area are both "Wireless Connectivity" and other applications of UWB (including DS-UWB from GiT and others, CW-UWB from PulseLink, and MB-OFDM UWB from the WiMedia Alliance), millimeter wave wireless from SiBeam, HomePlug, Bluetooth, the IEEE 802.11 family, and IEEE 802.11n.

Using only publicly available information, meticulously gathered from public patent sources, filing information, court activities, and other research this report is truly an invaluable resource for any company participating in the Bluetooth, WiFi, WirelessHD, or Certified Wireless USB standards, or planning a potential entry into this market.
