Control Solutions, Inc Gothenburg, Sweden 22 February 2007: According to a new research report from the Sweden-based analyst firm Berg Insight, one in two cars and one in three notebooks PCs shipped worldwide in 2011 will have cellular communication capabilities. This will create a massive market for wireless M2M communication and mobile broadband data devices, exceeding 100 million units per annum. This year, Berg Insight estimates worldwide shipments in these categories to reach 23 million units.

“We currently see two strong trends driving demand for wireless M2M and mobile broadband” said Tobias Ryberg, senior analyst, Berg Insight. “Firstly, more and more automobile manufacturers are following GM OnStar, incorporating telematics units as standard equipment in their vehicles. Secondly, the integration of HSPA in notebook PCs is gaining momentum as mobile operators launch high speed HSPA networks.” He also mentioned utility meters, security alarms and POS-terminals as product categories in which adoption of wireless M2M communication technology is growing rapidly.

The report from Berg Insight identifies several catalysts for the adoption of cellular communication in a wider range of machines and devices other than handsets. These include low cost 2.5G and 3G chipsets with integrated GPS capabilities and flat rate Internet access tariffs from mobile operators. Regulatory initiatives such as the eCall automatic emergency call system in Europe and new utility metering legislation in several countries are also highly important.
