Research has shown that carriers' backhaul face the greatest amount of congestion with the increase in consumer data traffic. Instead of building additional base stations, carriers are employing lower cost solutions including deploying femtocells and Wi-Fi to ease this congestion, thus providing new avenues for silicon growth.

In fact, according to MarketsandMarkets, the global femtocell market is projected to grow from $230 million in 2009 to $4.6 billion in 2014. It's expected to have a CAGR of 82.6% from 2009 to 2014 due to the large size of the mobile phone market. The U.S. is expected to have the largest femtocell market in 2010 and is also likely to have the highest CAGR of 84.5%. (MarketsandMarkets)

Global shipments of Wi-Fi ICs have experienced an extraordinary growth in recent years, due to the increasing demands for wireless-enabled devices and enterprise level applications, according to ABI Research. The cellular handsets segment is expected to maintain the highest unit shipment of Wi-Fi-enabled products in the next five years, achieving an estimated CAGR of 25% between 2009 and 2015. Laptops, netbooks and MIDs are other segments which will see higher shipments across all Wi-Fi-enabled products. (ABI Research).
