Abstract
Early adopters have added a home network to their broadband modems for
primarily sharing Internet access, but have begun to bridge the traditional PC
content world and legacy entertainment components. An increasing number of
consumer electronics devices will become available that are network capable.
Wireless products are transitioning from 802.11b to 802.11g, and from 802.11g
to pre-802.11n products. Alternative wired technologies are beginning to make
strides with telcos deploying IPTV services, especially those that can use
more than one medium. HomePNA now offers communication over coax as well as
phoneline for added flexibility. High-speed powerline, such as HomePlug AV and
UPA, also has the capability to offer high throughput over coax, adding to a
potential increased opportunity than powerline alone.
The total revenue of equipment derived from home networking LAN hardware and
from stationary network-capable consumer electronics devices will approach $50
billion in 2010.
This report contains analysis using consumer survey data, and detailed
forecasting. We examine key worldwide market shares for SOHO routers and
residential gateways. Forecasts are broken down by units and revenue for
NICs/LOM, aggregators (routers, residential gateways, access points), and
media networked devices, as well as by LAN interface category. Regional
forecasts are provided for installed home networks and installed networks by
wired and wireless LAN interface categories.
