BluWireless Home

Wireless is everywhere. Mobile phones, WiFi networks, Bluetooth PAN, GPS location - the list is long and
growing. A typical consumer may have as many as six wireless technologies in his or her pocket right now.
Market disruption is coming in the form of the new globally unlicensed 60GHz band.

This new band offers increased (x100) bandwidth for multi-gigabit communications for demanding consumer
electronic and personal area network applications.

Already leading edge products are emerging which use 60 GHz to stream uncompressed full quality HD TV to
wafer thin flat screen TVs - and this is just the beginning of a new generation of applications.

New industry consortium and standards are emerging to support these new applications and market - notably
from the WirelessHD and the WiFi/WiGig Alliances. These in turn are driving standardisation through the
IEEE - thus ensuring that 60 GHz communications will take their place as the next generation of high
throughput wireless technology. Ultimately, these standards will form the core of next generation WiFi
standards.

The total annual market for WiFi enabled devices is projected to be approx 1.3B devices by 2012, next
generation WiFi standards are set to have high throughput technology, leading to a large potential for this
technology in established markets.
