This Research Report is a market and technology update following the release of ABI Research’s “Wireless Video Cable Replacement Market and Technologies” study (Web ID RR-WIHD). This market is just emerging, and while some still doubt the demand for and integrity of wireless HDTV connections in the home, the fire is still burning hot with semiconductor and CE vendors. Amimon has emerged with an approach that clearly works and has successfully formed a consortium around the technology to create the WHDI standard. The WirelessHD consortium expects to have products to market in 2009 and with most of the major CE vendors lined up with one or both of these approaches, 2009 should bring a host of new product announcements.

This Research Report examines the progress of vendors in 2008, provides a refreshed and closer look at the technologies involved, and presents a slightly revised forecast for 2009 and beyond.
