iPad-Type Tablets Open New Opportunities for Wireless Chip Vendors
Francis Sideco
Booming sales of emerging wirelessly enabled consumer devices will generate new growth opportunities for semiconductor suppliers, spurring the shipments of embedded Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) chipsets for slate-type tablets to soar, according to the market research firm iSuppli Corp.
iSuppli forecasts that by 2014, 20.7 million embedded WWAN chipsets will be shipped to the slate-type tablet market—a category that includes Apple Inc.’s iPad—up from almost none in 2009. Meanwhile, 2.1 million embedded WWAN modules will be shipped for the slate market by 2014, up also from virtually nil in 2009, for a whopping 498.4 percent Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR).
