Research analyses networked home devices
According to the latest Strategy Analytics' 'Connected Home Devices' research, nearly two-thirds of available networked home devices are now integrated with, or upgradeable to WiFi connectivity.
Technologies such as mobile WiMAX and UMTS TDD will lead the alternative technology camp, but enhancements to existing technologies, including HSPA and EV-DO Revision A+ will comprise the bulk of the market and are where the money lies in the short-term.
"We're not likely to see technologies like mobile WiMAX or indeed, anything else, really take off until the next decade", comments Sara Harris, Senior Industry Analyst at Strategy Analytics and author of this report.
"However, HSPA and EV-DO will be more than acceptable for most users, giving them the speed and flexibility they want to use their fixed Internet applications on the move".
