ABI Research has released its latest Vendor Matrix for ultrawideband vendors, naming WiQuest as the leading provider, with Alereon and Pulse~LINK close behind.

"The top vendors in the Ultra Wideband IC Vendor Matrix are established startup companies that have totally dedicated themselves to the UWB and Wireless USB market opportunities," says ABI senior analyst Douglas McEuen. "The key success in terms of innovation for the top vendors was the ability to offer complete chipset solutions, or MAC and PHY chips combined with an RF transceiver."

"Others in the top ten, in descending order according to the ABI ranking, are Wisair, Realtek Semiconductor Corp, Sigma Designs Inc, TZero, WiLinx, Staccato Communications and General Atomics Aeronautical Systems," writes EE Times' John Walko.
