| “The demand for the inclusion of emerging wireless protocols such as Bluetooth, UWB, and WiFi, into handsets remains in spite of current economic conditions,” according to Kirsten West, principal analyst with WTRS. “Drivers for the adoption of emerging wireless connectivity technologies in mobile handsets are in many senses free of economic pressures. Over the last few months, the mobile market has been dampened by the global economic turmoil. However, according to handset manufacturers, consumer demand for multimedia devices has not abated.” The WTRS Report, “WTRS Emerging Wireless in Mobile Applications Report 2008” identifies other conclusions as well, including: (1) The Bluetooth-WiFi combination presents a possible near term inhibitor to the adoption of UWB by the Bluetooth SIG which will be overcome only if more end products adopt UWB. (2) The success of early dual mode cellular products is an indication that the WiFi feature will be a popular one. (3) The impetus for a WiMAX market development and expansion is the growth of services in end user applications that utilize the expanded mobility and high bandwidth that WiMAX affords. |
