Great expectations certainly abound for the next step in wireless LAN technology, the much-hyped IEEE 802.11n. People have dreamed about the kind of raw speed it is promising, up to 600Mbps, virtually unheard of for a wireless technology of any kind. 802.11n will be to 802.11b what a Maserati is to a Pinto.
In-Stat expects the break-out year for 802.11n will be 2008. By mid-2008, the standard should be formally ratified and the first stage of Wi-Fi certified products should be rolling out, with many of the early product bugs worked out of chipsets and end-products, and vendors working on cost and power-efficiency instead of just frantically racing to put out products. During 2008, we expect that the majority of chipsets shipped out, a little over 50%, will be based on 802.11n, representing 195 million 802.11n chipsets shipments for 2008.
In-Stat expects that breakout years, where 50% or more of the total WLAN chipsets will be 802.11n, will differ by segment:
- Embedded WLAN in Mobile PCs-2008
- Enterprise APs-2008
- Home/SOHO Wireless Routers, Gateways, Standalone APs-2008
- External Clients-2008
- Dual-mode Cellular/Wi-Fi Phones-2009
- Stationary CE Devices-2009
- Portable CE Devices-2010
- Consumer Wi-Fi-Only Phones-beyond 2010
- Business Wi-Fi-Only Phones-beyond 2010
