Abstract

Powerline networking offers a solution with some advantages over coax and twisted-pair cabling for in-home deployment, especially in regions with little existing coax or phone line jacks, such as in EMEA, China, and many Asia-Pacific countries. At this time, we do not believe that there will be one clear technology winner in the networking interface race between coax, phone line, and powerline; however, our current analysis points toward powerline as winning on a worldwide scale. In 2005, worldwide unit shipments of broadband powerline equipment surpassed 2 million, and the market has reached an inflection point this year that points only upward.

This report provides worldwide unit shipment forecasts, and forecasts by geographic region, product segment, technology, bandwidth, PHY/MAC chipset ASP, sales by channel (retail vs. service provider), and in-home networking vs. broadband access/utility.
