FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
VoIP Is the 'Killer' Application to Drive Wireless
Development from WiMAX to 4G to UWB Into The Next Decade
Market Research Report Offers Comprehensive Forecasts and
Strategic Analysis of All Growing Wireless Component
Technologies, Relates Them to Protocols and International
Standards, and Reviews Their Relationships with Economic and
Political Driving Forces
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 12, 2004 -- West Technology
Research Solutions, LLC ("WTRS"), a market research firm
focusing solely on emerging wireless technologies, today
announced the availability of their just released, expanded
Comprehensive Wireless Component Market Report, that
provides a comprehensive review of wireless components
spanning WAN technologies and protocols to PANs and Sensors.
It compares and explains the relationships between
technologies and protocols including UWB, Bluetooth,
802.15.4, ZigBee, 3G, 4G, WiMAX, 802.11a through g, and
802.20.
"WiMAX is seen by many as an indicator and also a driver in
the market for VoIP applications. We are now at the
intersection of wireless rapid data transfer and
communication, realizing the final link, the Golden Spike,
the saxum medium, the Key Stone: voice as data, Voice over
Internet Protocol, VoIP. In the near future, invariably and
inevitably, VoIP will replace switched telephony, i.e. it
will eliminate and replace a complete stratum of our
infrastructure that has served us so well for over one
hundred years: the telephone. To be frank about this, we
simply will no longer have need of it," said Kirsten West,
one of the principals of WTRS. "Now that the significance of
VoIP and its threat to telecommunications is becoming clear,
the genie is out of the bottle, and the proverbial horse has
left the barn. The FCC wants to keep the decision in the
market place, that sphere of the survival of the fittest.
Such an outcome would give the advantage to cable operators,
the likes of AT&T, but also the 'little guy', the average
person looking to reduce and finally eliminate the barriers
of regulations and fees. The losers would be the
telecommunication market and industry and that incredibly
layered maze of service providers and hangers-on: federal,
state, local taxes, fees, and their bureaucratic
infrastructure, attached like remoras to the mouth and
underside of a shark."
West estimates that, given a 4% global GDP growth rate,
annual shipments for WiMAX chipsets will exceed $2.2 billion
in 2008.
The Comprehensive Wireless Component Market Report and
Analysis provides sales volume, unit shipments, and average
selling price by area network (WAN, MAN, LAN, PAN, and
Sensors) as well as by the protocols and technologies within
each area network from 2004 through 2009. In addition, it
provides technology driver & shift analysis, analysis of
technologies and standard protocols, summary and analysis of
parent activity for each area network, economic indicator
and geographic analysis, and general industry analysis. This
115-page report has 81 tables and 62 graphs.
