Home Network Technology & Connectivity Use: Ethernet, 802.11, Coax, and Powerline
Based upon the results of our North American broadband survey, the majority of consumers with a home network that use Wi-Fi are still not very/not at all familiar with the benefits and differences between 802.11g and 802.11n. Although this may limit upgrades in the short term, the older Wi-Fi standards will be discontinued eventually anyway. Other wired technologies that use coax, phone wiring, and powerline are also beginning to make strides with telcos deploying telco TV services.
The number of home LAN physical layer interface shipments will surpass 500 million in 2010, and the installed base of home networks will surpass 300 million in 2011.
Global and regional forecasts are provided for home networks, with North America, Europe, and Asia/Pacific broken down by use of Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and other wired solutions. In addition, global home network interfaces by physical layer are included, since the majority of network-enabled devices have both wired and wireless connectivity options.

Global Outlook for Broadband CPE Through 2013
In 2008, 154 million broadband customer premises equipment (CPE) units (broadband modems, routers, and residential gateways) shipped worldwide, resulting in an increase of 2.4% over 2007, the slowest growth in this decade. Through 2013, modems and ONTs will continue to dominate global unit shipments. This report contains analysis of worldwide equipment shipments, home networks, and consumer survey data. We examine key worldwide and regional CPE markets for broadband modems/ONTs, routers, and residential gateways for DSL, cable, Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH), Fixed Wireless Broadband, and Fixed Satellite Broadband. VoIP forecasts are included for DSL, cable, and router equipment, with a regional breakout for cable E-MTAs. Wired vs. wireless segmentations are included for routers and DSL residential gateways. In addition, global and regional forecasts are provided for home networks, as well as recent consumer survey perspectives about equipment features that impact buying decisions.
