Home Networking Chipset Companies Need to Sort Out Issues of Ease-of-Use and Installation to Facilitate Greater Product Uptake

The increasing numbers of home and small office home office (SOHO) buyers notwithstanding, home networking chipset technologies are still too technically sophisticated to be installed and used by those that are not technology savvy. Such consumers seek networking technology that requires minimal supervision during installation, especially with the configuration of adapters and cards. Even though universal serial bus (USB) adapters can help ease this process, it could also increase costs and decrease throughput. Troubleshooting is a potentially time-consuming process and home local area network (LAN) users are likely to be further inconvenienced with networking software, different environments, and multiple operating system versions.

This Frost & Sullivan research service examines the world home networking chipset market and its subsegments -- phoneline, powerline, and wireless chipsets. The study also discusses the prevailing industry challenges and gives strategic recommendations to overcome them. It enables companies to align their positioning strategies to benefit from the changing market conditions.

Increasing Consumer Expectations toward High Definition Content Spurs Market Growth

Home networking has received a huge boost with the high definition (HD) content becoming increasingly popular among PC users and home theatre enthusiasts. "Whatever be the format (HDTV, VCDs, or DVDs), consumers are demanding better quality content -- especially in the digital data," says the analyst of this research service. "This content, in turn, propels consumer interest toward better products, which generate huge returns to the home networking chipset market."

Apart from HD content, the market is also likely to benefit from home network chipsets' time shifting capacity and enhancement, which allows customers to view programs at any desired instant.

Increasing Online Households and Wireless Connectivity Boosts Sales

"A rising number of online households and an increasing need for wireless connectivity are major factors driving the growth of the home networking chipset market," notes the analyst of this research. "The entire home networking chipset market is likely to grow by 20 percent by 2009."

The market also stands to gain from the mounting interest shown by both cable and digital subscriber line (DSL) service providers in offering voice over Internet protocol (VoIP). Using the Internet to send voice data instead of the traditional telephone system saves VoIP providers a huge amount of money. Simultaneously, the home networking chipset service providers can develop new revenue streams and gain a competitive edge by providing additional voice lines.
