BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 14, 2001
In a report released today, Aberdeen Group, a leading market analysis and positioning services firm, states that the home networking market will reach $13 billion by 2005. This research is a result of Aberdeen's new Home Networking practice, which covers emerging and established companies in home networking and analyzes marketing, technology, and business trends.
"There is a growing consumer demand for technologies that provide new functionality, convenience, and potential cost savings," says report author Ethan L. Cohen. "However, in order to succeed in today's increasingly competitive home networking marketplace, suppliers must provide inexpensive solutions on standardized products that are interoperable."
Home networking technology is the ultimate extension of the Internet. The endgame for home networking technology is to enable continuous always-on content access and connectivity on any device in any format and to provide homeowners with control of every electronic device and appliance in the home environment.
The report, entitled "The Network Comes Home: Connectivity, Access, and Control," defines the business and marketing factors driving the home networking market; forecasts market size; and profiles 21 key suppliers.
Profiled suppliers include 2Wire, Inc.; 3Com Corporation; Broadcom Corporation; Cisco Systems, Inc.; Coactive Networks; Conexant Systems, Inc.; Cypress Semiconductor Corporation; DoBox, Inc.; Echelon Corporation; emWare Inc.; Enikia, Inc.; Home Director, Inc.; Inari, Inc.; Intellon Corporation; Microsoft Corporation; Proxim, Inc.; Sage Systems, Inc.; Sharewave, Inc.; Sun Microsystems Inc.; Tut Systems, Inc.; Ucentric Systems LLC.
