As the world wants wireless, four companies deliver the goods to meet this demand.
The world has gone wireless. With the introduction, and rapid acceptance, of mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets, consumers have demanded unfettered access to the internet anywhere and at anytime. To meet this demand wireless semiconductor manufacturers are working around the clock to meet their needs. At the forefront of the evolution of wireless technology is Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) technology –commonly referred to as Wi-Fi.
From public internet hot-spots in restaurants and airports to ‘digital homes’ where internet-connected appliances improve standards of living – advances in WLAN semiconductors have fuelled today’s wireless age. The demand for wireless connectivity is so great that any portable device must now feature WiFi as a standard feature. In 2002, WLAN semiconductors generated revenue of $364 million.
In 2011, wireless chipset unit sales were estimated to reach 2 billion units - a 22% increase from just 2009 alone. That number is to reach 7 billion by 2015.
