Abstract Table of Contents Related Reports

This report addresses technologies and markets for local (such as inside of a room or a house) distribution of high definition video and audio signals. The report updates information that was presented in previous issues; it also analyzes wired techniques that may complement or used independently from wireless solutions.

The main goal was to show the dynamics of the marketplace and properties of various technologies that support this very active HD signals distribution market.

The report, in particular, addresses the progress in following markets and technologies:

Wireless:

1. 60 GHz radio-
WirelessHD
IEEE802.15.3c
WiGig
ECMA-387
IEEE802.11ad

2. Amimon - WHDI

3. IEEE802.11n

4. IEEE802.11ac

5. UWB.

Wired:

HomePlug
MOCA
HomePNA
G.hn
DiiVA
DisplayPort.

The report analyzes the current status of these technologies developments as well as their marketing specifics.

The marketplace for high - definition signals local distribution shows strong dynamics; there are multiple standardization efforts combined with a variety of industry groups activity. The competition is growing together with the introduction of several new technologies. The ITU and the IEEE are working to unify such efforts; and to create a limited number of standards that can utilize various media.
