Published: September 1999
Product Code: R97-235Description For the corporate and consumer worlds, Bluetooth technology will enable easy synchronization and mobility during a cordless connection, and open up many possibilities for establishing quick, temporary (ad-hoc) connections with colleagues, friends, or office networks. Mobility benefits are not offered now by IrDA-enabled (infrared) products, such as some mobile phones, notebook PCs, desktop PCs, and digital cameras. This report forecasts Bluetooth-enabled equipment and the associated opportunities for radio and baseband solutions from 1999 through 2005. An overview of Bluetooth technology, the companies involved, semiconductor players, and alliances and partnerships are also discussed. Detailed seven-year forecasts for radio and baseband functional solutions are given as well as eight categories and 18 sub-segments of Bluetooth-enabled products. Markets included are:
- Cellular & PCS Mobile Phones
- Digital Cordless Phones
- Other Communications
- Notebook & Desktop PCs
- Handheld PCs & Palm Companions
- Digital Still Cameras
- Output Equipment
- Accessories
- Automotive
- Industrial & Medical
- Hotel Industry
- Home Networking
