News from IHS said that by 2015 the global shipment of wireless-video-enabled devices would be up to 241 million because the Wireless video technology is turning its way from the family to the mobile network.

 

Let’s check the take a look at analytical data first. According to IHS’ market report,Wireless-Video-Enabled Devices: Will It Be in Much Need? Articles the shipments of wireless-video enabled devices such as smartphones, notebooks and media tablets will expand to 241.1 million units by 2015, up from just 6.6 million units in 2010, for a whopping 105.1 percent compound annual growth rate.

 

With the proliferation of wireless devices, consumers have been craving services for their mobile platforms similar to the kind they get at home. As a result, the desire to view high-definition (HD) programming at any place and on any device will drive wireless video technology into a gamut of mobile devices in the next few years.

 

The main reason that drives the shipments to climb is the growing need on this market. The need is much from the growing need to share content across multiple platforms. Thus, it is also a urgent to develop the wireless video HD interfaces.

 

We can take it in ways below. Firstly, the number of video downloads on mobile devices is set to grow 192 percent in the next four years, increasing to more than 1.5 billion downloads by 2014, up from 540 million  in 2010.

 

Meanwhile, shipments of Internet-enabled flat-panel televisions—equipped for multi-format decoders and more complex operating systems—will grow by nearly 500 percent during the next four years, reaching over 160 million units by 2014, up from only 26 million in 2010.

 

Secondly, Internet-based content providers such as Hulu, Netflix, Vudu and other pay TV operators are set to double their online video data consumption during the next four years. As content becomes increasingly available from free sources like YouTube and subscription-based sites such as Netflix, the ability to access content anywhere and anytime will establish a whole new baseline of service to consumers.

 

Much of this content will be viewed on screens in the 4-inch to 10-inch size range. For instance, High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)-compatible interfaces are beginning to show up on newer cellphones via the MHL technology from Silicon Image. Likewise, Apple Inc. released its iPad 2 with HDMI support, 1080p capability and HD video output.

 

Lastly, markets are surging for online gaming and Internet photo sharing, further illustrating the necessity for more standards.

 

Of course, there are other reasons to explain the climbing need of wireless-video-enabled devices for example the boost to wireless HD interconnect. It is quite a good season for sales of such wireless electronic components.
