Biggest Near-term Opportunities : Wireless LANs and 3G Mobile Networks

US Missouri : Opportunities abound for enhancing wireless networks by adding handset diversity antennas, base station smart antennas, MIMO with spatial multiplexing, and interference cancellation technology (ICT). That is one of the conclusions of the new 67-page report, MIMO, Smart Antennas, and Interference Cancellation Technology: Markets & Strategies for Wireless Enhancement, released today by Datacomm Research Company.

“As more communications goes wireless, pressure builds to both increase network capacity and the throughput available to individual users” said Ira Brodsky, President of Datacomm Research and the report’s author. “MIMO, diversity, smart antennas, and interference cancellation technology offer the biggest returns for vendors’ R&D dollars,” he added.

MIMO, Smart Antennas, and Interference Cancellation Technology: Markets & Strategies for Wireless Enhancement provides information on the application requirements, market needs and segmentation, economic drivers, technology hurdles, and standards considerations. Forecasts are provided for the most promising markets.

Panel of Experts Convened

Additional opinions and insights are provided by a distinguished panel of experts including Dr. Jack Winters, Chief Scientist for Motia; Dr. Arogyaswami Paulraj, head of Stanford University's Information Systems Laboratory; and Dr. Richard Roy, co-founder of ArrayComm.

Additional conclusions found in MIMO, Smart Antennas, and Interference Cancellation Technology: Markets & Strategies for Wireless Enhancement:

1. MIMO is a momentous development and potentially disruptive technology. MIMO has demonstrated the ability to multiply spectral efficiency. This translates into significantly higher throughput and range in wireless LAN and MAN applications.

2. Opinions differ regarding the value of MIMO in mobile communications. Based on our panel of experts’ analysis, we believe MIMO will at least double network capacity. The report discusses likely timelines for the development of affordable MIMO solutions for mobile networks.

3. Near-term, expect most 3G handsets, smart phones, laptop PCs and 2.5/3G wireless data adapter cards to implement diversity. MIMO will become an increasingly prevalent feature of wireless LANs. Smart antennas for base stations will fuel competition between evolved 3G and WiMAX technologies.

4. Airgo Networks is the pioneer of consumer-grade MIMO solutions. Chipset rivals are led by the semiconductor giant, Intel. The report provides an assessment of Airgo’s time-to-market advantage and the likely ramifications.
