UWB to lead in-home connectivity growth by 2010

Shipments of home wireless audio and video connectivity products – including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, UWB and 60 GHz – are expected to reach nearly 700 million worldwide by 2013, up from just 150 million this year, according to a recent study from ABI Research.
“Wireless video and audio connectivity within the home is still an early-adopter’s market,” noted Douglas McEuen, senior analyst at ABI. “As prevalent as wireless connectivity is in the home, it’s still a small proportion compared to the potential overall market, and even smaller when it’s a question of in-home media networks. However as these systems begin to appear in consumers’ homes, word of the benefits will spread, boosting acceptance levels.”
