Wi-Fi Component Market Growth Despite Price Declines. MIMO and New Applications Stimulate Demand

Strategy Analytics:

Propelled by emerging Wi-Fi applications such as wireless game consoles, PDAs, cellphones, and home entertainment systems, the market for Wi-Fi chips will grow to more than $1.9 billion in 2006, and to $3 billion in 2010. The adoption of MIMO and 802.11n, which require multiple PAs, transceivers and more complex front end modules, will also have a big impact, even though certified 802.11n systems will probably not reach the market for another year.
