The decline in smartphone and PC shipments in 2022 took its toll on overall shipments for Wi-Fi-enabled products, causing them to fall for the first time ever in Wi-Fi's decades-long history.
The year 2022 will represent a key year for wireless connectivity innovation as Wi-Fi 6, 6E, and Ultra-Wideband adoption accelerates across a growing number of end markets.
WiFi 6 or 802.11ax chipsets are forecast to break the 1 billion annual shipments barrier by 2022 just three years after the first commercial deployments expected for 2019, according to analyst firm ABI Research.
