Bluetooth Low Energy: Diversifying Bluetooth Technology - 2009 Edition

Bluetooth Low Energy: Diversifying Bluetooth Technology - 2009 Edition published by IMS Research in August, 2009. This report consists of 98 pages (including 20 tables and 17 figures) and the price starts from US $ 6800.

Introduction

Description

Bluetooth low energy has come a long way over the past 12 months. However, one thing remains constant - the Bluetooth industry has incredibly high expectations of this technology. This version of Bluetooth represents the technology' s most promising development that will allow it to diversify into new industry sectors. Where there is a specific demand for a low power interoperable standard, in many cases, Bluetooth low energy technology is a good fit.

As of August 2008, four single-mode chips and three dual-mode Bluetooth low energy chipsets have been announced. As the specification nears completion, these announcements are a sign that momentum is gathering.

Highlights of the report are as follows:

• Bluetooth low energy market size forecasts for 2009 to 2014.
• Forecast variance between 2008 and 2009 editions is tabulated and discussed.
• Single-mode and dual-mode Bluetooth low energy are forecast and analysed separately.
• Forecasts are broken down into 10 industry sectors including healthcare, sports, watches, home entertainment and proximity sensors.
• For single-mode application areas, further breakdowns are provided, i.e. automotive forecasts include tyre pressure monitors, sensors, electronic keys and remote controls.
• For each device the following is provided: unit and IC shipments, and revenues.
• A detailed technology review includes profiles, use-cases enabled, specification details and a brief analysis of competing technologies.
• A competitive environment considers the current situation of both classic Bluetooth IC vendors and current proprietary IC providers. Supplier profiles are provided.
