VDC's study on the emerging market for UWB will provide the following data and analyses:

- Detailed market definition and segmentation;

- Penetration scenarios for UWB-enabling technologies and components;

- Market estimates and forecasts for enabling technologies, components and application segments;

- Customer requirements and preferences from a number of OEM segments including suppliers of: WLAN/WPAN infrastructure components, PC peripherals, portable CE audio/video devices and mobile phones;

- Analysis of UWB-enabling technology and component suppliers, including market share, position and profiles;

- Analysis of pending industry standards and government regulations; and

- Key success requirements for product, market and channel development strategies.

VDC's methodology will include rigorous primary research coupled with secondary research sources. The two processes will yield highly detailed and accurate market estimates and forecasts, customer requirements and supplier analysis.

The primary research process consists of structured, in-depth telephone interviews with OEMs, suppliers and industry associations/trade groups. VDC's target communities and target sample sizes include:

- Customer groups (approximately 60 - 100 telephone interviews, spread evenly across the following OEM segments): OEMs: WLAN/WPAN infrastructure component suppliers;

- OEMs: PC peripheral suppliers;
- OEMs: Portable CE audio/video device suppliers;
- OEMs: Mobile phone suppliers; and
- OEMs: Military contractors.
- Suppliers of UWB enabling technologies and UWB components under study (approximately 30 telephone interviews); and - Industry associations (approximately 5 telephone interviews).

The secondary research process includes reviews and analysis of:
- VDC proprietary databases;
- Technical and marketing white papers;
- Company reports and product literature;
- Conference proceedings;
- Trade associations, consortia and forums; and
- Standards organizations and government documents.
