Local Distribution of HDTV and Other Bandwidth-demanding Signals: Assessment Technologies and Markets
PracTel Inc, Aug 2011, Pages: 90+
This report addresses technologies and markets that support home/office (“local”) distribution of bandwidth-intensive signals. Related applications also require QoS support; and demanding the rate of transmission from several Mb/s and up to several Gb/s; such requirements became typical for current HDV, IPTV and similar signals distribution. These applications are opening the multi-billion market for manufacturers of related ICT devices; they also intend to satisfy the growing users’ demand for home/office interconnects.
Two major types of communications channels in the converged LAN/PAN environment are:
-Wireless, and
-Wired.
Among them, the differentiation has to be made for uncompressed and compressed information transmission.
The report continues the Practel project that addresses bandwidth-hungry applications for signals distribution at home or small office; it updates and adds new information.
This report concentrates on recent technological advances (in the discussed area) as well as on related markets; and, particular, it analyzes the following technologies and markets:
- WPAN/WLAN– UWB, Visible Light Communication (VLC), 60 GHz radio, and IEEE 802.11n; as well as other recently introduced competing technologies;
- Wired PAN/LAN – HomePlug, HPNA-ITU, MOCA, HDBaseT, DiiVA and Display Port.
The report also contains a survey of related industries, vendors and their products.
Research Methodology:
Considerable research was done using the Internet. Information from various Web sites was studied and analyzed. Evaluation of publicly available marketing and technical publications was conducted. Telephone conversations and interviews were held with industry analysts, technical experts and executives. In addition to these interviews and primary research, secondary sources were used to develop a more complete mosaic of the market landscape, including industry and trade publications, conferences and seminars.
The overriding objective throughout the work has been to provide valid and relevant information. This has led to a continual review and update of the information content.
Target Audience:
This report is important to a wide population of researches, technical and sales staff involved in the developing of CE devices and their communications gear. It is recommended for both service providers and vendors that are working with related technologies. The report also helps to understand issues associated with relationship between “local” LAN/PAN communications and other technologies.
