Too much technology, too little space for Intel

Intel faces many issues in today’s increasingly wireless world. As the amount of wireless technology increases, so does the amount of space needed to put all of that hardware in there. Intel and other developers will continue to struggle in an increasingly competitive market. Failing to meet all the standards could result in a loss in a portion of the market.

Kevin Kahn, a director at Intel’s communication technology lab, comments on the increasing standards in this market, “There’s Wi-Fi, WiMAX , GPS, cellular, Bluetooth, Ultrawideband (UWB) and a never-ending collection of standards. And then there’s also an ungodly number of different frequency bands these things operate at.”

One of the major problems thats Kahn and developers face is not only being able to support the functionality of all these different frequencies, but being able to fit all of the technology in smaller and smaller devices. Intel is continuing to develop “ultramobile” devices that are able to support many of the features of a regular PC, but are actually small enough to fit inside your pocket!

Not only does Kahn and others face the issues of these new technologies, they also face the issue of fitting all the technology in notebooks that continually decreasing in size. They must be able to cram all the communication technology and the shielding necessary to make it all work without interference.

This issue is not a big of deal as the issue of very small devices. Being able to integrate all the possible wireless technology into their devices will be a must for Intel and their competitors. Taking away certain wireless standards or technology from their products will limit the market of people who will want to continue to use their products. “It’d be a lot easier if we said we don’t like this or that band, but if folks want it, we have to provide it,” said Kahn.

Intel will certainly face an uphill battle to keep their technology at the top!
