This report is a forecast update to the April 2006 report, "USB 2006: Here Comes Wireless" (IN0602962MI). It contains updates to all forecasts in that report, but does not update the analyses in that report.
Home networks are moving slowly from only broadband sharing to other activities. The next phase moves the home network to a multimedia network that blends in consumer electronics devices.
As In-Stat had earlier predicted, AMD has announced that the heart of its future product roadmap will focus on heterogeneous processors that feature a new mobile x86 core(s) combined with an integrated graphics processing unit (GPU).
India is one of the fastest growing semiconductor markets in the world. Semiconductor consumption reached US$1.18 billion in 2005, and is expected to reach US$3.09 billion by 2010. Liberalization and globalization of India’s economy has accelerated the development of the electronics industry.
This report contains cellular infrastructure contract awards. Infrastructure awards are a very good indicator of the future health of the cellular and cellular infrastructure markets, because contract awards often occur several months, or even years before cellular infrastructure is shipped.
The cellular infrastructure world is changing. No sooner than 3G is deployed, after years of delays, there is now a new potential fly-in-the-ointment, WiMAX. It's not likely that WiMAX will threaten cellular for at least several years, but cellular providers are definitely planning for it.
In 2003, the IEEE released the 802.15.4 standard defining wireless mesh networking with low data rates, but also very low power consumption. ZigBee is a communication networking layer that can be overlaid on top of the 802.15.4 MAC.
Video distribution using HomePNA technology offers a flexible solution with some advantages for in-home deployment. Unlike other regions, this is especially true in North America where jacks for coax and phoneline are prevalent in most homes.
According to the latest figures from the Yearbook of World Electronics Data, Chinese electronics output is forecast to exceed US$300 billion in 2006 and is expected to surpass the US by the end of the year to become the world’s largest manufacturer.
Demand for small form factor Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) is expected to remain strong over the next five years. Personal Video Recorders (PVRs) will continue to represent the largest CE application for HDDs.
In-Stat’s "Electronic Manufacturing in China" addresses the entire landscape of China’s current electronic manufacturing industry, including distribution of the ecosystem, market segmentation, and prospective development over the next five years.
For the last five years, cellular carriers around the world have been deploying 3G systems. In the early years there were many problems, but over time, the roll-outs of 3G have gone on like clockwork.
This report provides a detailed analysis of the automotive electronics market highlighting the key growth areas as well as providing a comprehensive overview of the key system suppliers to this important growth market.
The semiconductor manufacturing landscape in Asia has both IDMs and dedicated foundry players. The foundry market is dominated by a few large players who provide advanced technology products, while the smaller players work on generic semiconductor ICs manufactured on older generation process technologies.
The “Audience of One” describes the way that the modern electronic entertainment industry is shaping up. Each individual represents an “Audience of One, ” and will soon be in position to request that they have access to their electronic entertainment content in any location, on any device, at any time.
Great expectations certainly abound for the next step in wireless LAN technology, the much-hyped IEEE 802.11n. People have dreamed about the kind of raw speed it is promising, up to 600Mbps, virtually unheard of for a wireless technology of any kind.
This report analyzes the market for DSL physical layer ICs, focusing on ADSL (including ADSL2 and ADSL2+), VDSL, and SHDSL. Key technology and market trends are discussed, such as the development of ADSL2+, the shift to VDSL2, and the driving force of IPTV.
The acquisition of ATI Technologies by AMD marks a drastic change in the battle between AMD and Intel that will have significant effects on the PC market and ecosystem.
Almost 25 years ago, In-Stat found its start in offering semiconductor research with uncanny insight and accuracy. Over the years, In-Stat has expanded its semiconductor portfolio upward through the digital communications and convergence value chains to the ultimate end-users. Today, the strength of coverage comes from In-Stat’s checks and balances of macroeconomic analysis, primary research surveys, equipment market data, and semiconductor engineering analysis. Research coverage includes both the semiconductor requirements of many of the applications driving global chip demand and demand-side coverage of actual customer perceptions and budgets.
