Synopsis:

"Ultra Wideband: Poised to Transform the Wireless Industry" illustrates the tremendous market potential and remaining challenges of bringing UWB products to market.

UWB is worthy of risking the dangers of "over-hype" because it is quite likely to be one of the most transformational wireless technologies yet. Because there is only a handful of UWB developers today, it also represents an incredible opportunity for developers, investors and OEMs who move quickly enough to take advantage of this situation.

Based on dozens of interviews with executives at UWB focused companies, UWB stakeholders at Fortune1000 companies and hundreds of hours of research on existing target markets, this report provides emerging market intelligence on the following areas:

Market size projections and segmentation on initial mass markets
Projections and analyses on niche and future potential markets
Analysis on the current in-progress standardization situation for 15.3a and 15.4a
In-depth coverage of the leading startups and established companies that are leading the charge toward commercialization
In-depth Technology Background that includes a comparison of singleband to multiband schemes as well as UWB compared with other wireless technologies
Input on what chipset characteristics will have the best chance of attracting an acquirer

This report also includes many time saving discoveries from third party sources with URLs for further reading on many of the most timely white papers on ultra wideband technology and its many potential applications.
