Perspectives
The short-range wireless market is constantly evolving. Bluetooth, NFC, UWB, ZigBee, and Wi-Fi are all improving and evolving. At times, one technology attempts to move into another's core area. At other times, two technologies pair up to become complementary or even synergetic.
Device vendors across various device classes must decide which short-range wireless technologies to include in device designs. A larger number of technologies translates to increased utility in the device, but also means increased costs. The Short-Range Wireless Research Service provides forecasts for these technologies and combination chipset shipments across different device classes.
