| Increasing Competition in Wireless Home Networking |
| Technologies focusing on networking home entertainment equipment will see much competition in the next five years, but 802.11n will become the ultimate leader. Of the three leading candidates for wireless home networking, powerline, WiFi, and Ultra Wide Band, the biggest competition will be between WiFi and UWB. While the official data transmission rate of 802.11 technologies is 54 Mbps, throughput is actually only half that due to communications overhead. The UWB can offer theoretical speeds of up to 480 Mbps, but the first generation chipsets that will be available in 2007 will only offer 100-200 Mbps without overhead taken into account. |
