EE Times


BANGALORE, India — Insatiable consumer demand for wireless connectivity is driving the market for ultrawideband (UWB) and ZigBee chip sets, according to a report by market researcher Frost and Sullivan.

The UWB chip set market is projected to reach $950 million in 2009, while the Zigbee chip set sales will hit $800 million by then.

Lacking a killer application, UWB is raising questions on which areas will initially adopt this technology. "However, the expected emergence of such an application by the end of 2006 is likely to lessen the impact of this challenge and boost UWB's penetration into the industry space," said Frost and Sullivan analyst Deepa Doraiswamy.

Doraiswamy added,"To promote adoption of ZigBee, solution providers will have to develop systems that are easy to install and use. Burying the technical enormity and presenting a simple interface will facilitate adoption and future penetration of this technology."
