By 2015, nearly 80 million DTVs will be Wi-Fi Direct-enabled, according to a report.

According to In-Stat, the first applications to adopt Wi-Fi Direct include mobile PCs, digital televisions (DTVs), and mobile phones. These devices share a trait: they are the respective centers of the PC,CE, and mobile device clusters, and they ship in the hundreds of millions of devices annually.

Wireless display of images and video is a major aim of Wi-Fi Direct, so the main display in most homes will be a key target.

“One significant question surrounding to Wi-Fi Direct is will it ultimately help to increase the penetration of Wi-Fi? The answer is, marginally if at all,” said Brian O’Rourke, Research Director.

The report also said mobile PCs will adopt Wi-Fi Direct more quickly than any other application.Every PC, CE device and mobile phone that ships in 2014 with Wi-Fi silicon will be Wi-Fi Direct-enabled.

Wi-Fi Direct-enabled device shipments will reach 173 million in 2011, the report added.
