Forecasts for Wearable Shipment Vary Wildly

12

Forecasts range between 50M and 375M units in 2016.Still in the “Peak of Inflated Expectations” phase.

Still No Single Communication Standard for IoT

13

Experts predict it will be 10 years until there is consolidation on an in-home connectivity standard.

IoT-Enabling Antenna Technology

• DockOn, a LitePoint technology partner, joins us here today

• Compelling antenna technology—ideal for IoT- But applicable to full range of wireless applications

• CPL™ antennas brings several innovations and advantages:- High efficiency design - High efficiency design

• 1 to 3dB better than conventional, for better range/throughput

- Large isolation between antennas• Ideal for dual-mode and MIMO systems

- Low COGS PCB-based design• Highly repeatable in manufacturing

- Ideal for coupling/OTA test• Further COGS reductions and simplified production test

802.11ad: Up at 60GHz and 7Gbps

• Multi-gigabit per second connections without wires

• 60 GHz enables high user density, good security, huge throughput- Range reduced to <10 meters

• Two main application areas defined:- WiGig Display Extension: transmission of audio/visual data- WiGig Display Extension: transmission of audio/visual data

• Enables wireless DisplayPort and other display interfaces • Transmission of lightly compressed or uncompressed video from a computer or

digital camera to an HDTV, monitor or projector

- WiGig Bus and Serial Extensions• Implements common computer interfaces over 60 GHz• Peer-to-peer connectivity (i.e., sync, storage, other high-speed peripherals)

• Chipset available in Q4 2013

802.11af: Reclaiming Underutilized TV Bands

• 802.11af “White Fi”

• Uses the “TV White Spaces” spectrum - Underutilized TV spectrum from 54 to 806 MHz

• Long range and able to penetrate into buildings:- Servicing rural environments and developing countries- Servicing rural environments and developing countries- Extending the range of Wi-Fi in urban and residential environments- Eventually to become a standard Wi-Fi mode option (at 400MHz and above)

• Need for cognitive radios: Device must use unoccupied spectrum, based on database lookup and geographic sensing.

• Trials on-going in Africa and large UK trials planned for early 2014

• Chipsets available in mid-2014

19

802.11ah: <1GHz, M2M Communication

• Sub-GHz operation in the 755-787, 902-928 MHz

• Long range at low power

• Battery-powered devices with years of operational life

• Sensor networks, home/building automation, other M2M communications• Sensor networks, home/building automation, other M2M communications

• Throughput based on combining channels:- 150 kbps with a 1 MHz band - Up to 40 Mbps over an 8 MHz band- BPSK to 256QAM modulation

• Chipsets expected in 2015

Summary

• Market still huge for smart devices, but growth slowing

• Strong growth for the new ecosystem of devices that smartphones and tablets have enabled- Some older product categories are gone forever- But other are reborn as smart, connected device- Cumulative volume potential in the BILLIONS per year- Cumulative volume potential in the BILLIONS per year

• Wi-Fi continues to evolve, addressing new applications- 802.11ah for M2M—long range at low power- 802.11af for extending range of standard data networking applications- 802.11ad for super high-speed, short range docking and A/V application

- All under one IEEE 802 “roof” to ensure harmony
