This year, manufacturers started shipping a new generation of Wi-Fi chips that promise greater speed and longer reach, even though the body that governs wireless standards has yet to settle on a final recipe for the so-called 802.11n products. Shipments of the pre-standard "n" wireless chips made up just 4 percent of the market in 2006, according to In-Stat, while the dominant "g" variety held on to a 55 percent share.
Global shipments of the wireless chips are expected to grow 25 percent to 200.9 million by the end of the year, compared with 160.9 million in 2005, according to figures from the Wi-Fi Alliance industry association and In-Stat, a Scottsdale, Ariz.-based research group owned by Reed Elsevier Group PLC.
