2014 Wireless Technologies and Markets: Growth and Future Direction For WPANs, WLANs and WMANs
NEW YORK, Nov. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- This 121-page market study is the definitive report on the wireless industry and the latest technology that embraces wireless personal area networks (WPANs), wireless local area networks (WLANs) and wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs). The study addresses hot, new and exciting developments in the wireless industry that will accelerate industry growth through even greater performance, improved flexibility, expanded applications and a much improved cost/performance ratio.
Wireless technology has evolved to respond to skyrocketing user demands for higher data rates and expanded bandwidth for bandwidth consuming applications such as video streaming, high volume file transfers and high traffic volume. Newly approved gigabit standards promise to provide the needed bandwidth and faster data rates into the future and will have a major impact on wireless technology. It will substantially impact the wireless industry and improve revenue over the next several years.
Vendors are responding to the new gigabit standards with an increasing number of products now on the market that address this advanced technology. These first wave products, presented in this study, represent a giant leap forward in wireless performance and flexibility and will significantly affect the strength and growth within the wireless industry.
The study addresses the new 802.11ac/ad standards and their features in detail and it addresses the industry vendors who have developed and now offer products that comply with the new standards.
This study also addresses virtual networks and unified communication, profound industry trends now being implemented by small businesses and large corporations to substantially improve operating efficiency and to drive down operating and communication costs.
Cloud computing, addressed by this study, is an extremely hot topic throughout the industry. It is being supported by growing number of vendors and is being implemented by businesses and corporations to eliminate software and hardware purchases and maintenance costs through providers of cloud computing services. Cloud computing also comes with problems that must be addressed by implementers. The concept has sparked new life in the network vendor industry, which has geared up to support cloud computing through new products and services that are addressed in this study.
Hot spots are skyrocketing. This study addresses new vendor products and new standards for hotspots in addition to the Wi-Fi Alliance's role in the skyrocketing, global hotspot market. Hotspots have become vital revenue producers in the network industry. They provide volume Wi-Fi service to a broad number of mobile users. As a gigantic revenue producer, they are part of a huge and rapidly growing market for mobile service providers who offer service within buildings, shopping malls, airports, sports stadiums and virtually any commercial location.
Applications and technology for wireless personal area networks (WPANs) continues to expand and evolve, respectively. They address a broad and growing range of utilitarian applications not addressed by other wireless technologies. WPANs provide communications over very short distances and serve a plethora of personal, business and industrial applications.
This market study addresses IEEE 802.15 WPAN standards and standards developed by Bluetooth, Zigbee, WiGig and WiMedia, the four main WPAN standards organizations. It examines the network architecture of these standards, their benefits and limitations and applications. It also addresses the mission of the associated WPAN alliances and addresses the future direction of WPANs. The WiGig Alliance developed a gigabit standard that the IEEE has approved as 802.11ad.
The development of a nationwide broadband network is a hot priority among the four largest U.S. wireless carriers: AT&T Wireless, Verizon Wireless, Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile U.S. This study addresses the driving force for broadband wireless access (BWA), carrier involvement in developing a BWA network and possible service limitations. It addresses the four major U.S. wireless carriers, AT&T Wireless, Verizon Wireless, Sprint and T-Mobile U.S., and their response to skyrocketing bandwidth and traffic congestion demands. It also addresses the timeline for nationwide network coverage within their individual networks. The report addresses Sprint's position in the carrier market, its plans with respect to WiMAX service and its plans to remain competitive with the other major carriers. The study also addresses the Asian telecommunications markets, including Australia and China.
The study also addresses U.S. and international standards organizations and developers of wireless technology for global wireless carriers, and the evolution of 2G and 3G technologies that led to the development of a fourth generation technology and now to a fifth generation network technology. It also points out the differences between WiMAX and LTE and why the carriers have adopted LTE as their broadband technology. And it explores the future of broadband networks.
