Strategy Analytics has released "Wi-Fi Radio Component Sales Forecast 2006-2010 Update," an Excel data table that outlines the growing demand for transceivers, basebands, power amplifiers (Pas) and related radio components for Wi-Fi systems.

The data table shows the Strategy Analytics forecast for Wi-Fi systems by application, as well as expected average selling prices and unit and dollar shipments for Wi-Fi radio components.

"Propelled by emerging Wi-Fi applications such as wireless game consoles, PDAs, cellphones, and home entertainment systems, the market for Wi-Fi chips will grow to more than $1.9 billion in 2006, and to $3 billion in 2010," said Chris Taylor, director of the Strategy Analytics RF & Wireless Component service. "The adoption of MIMO and 802.11n, which require multiple PAs, transceivers and more complex front-end modules, will also have a big impact, even though certified 802.11n systems will probably not reach the market for another year," added Taylor.
