According to Kirsten West, PhD, principal analyst with WTRS, "The market for wireless sensor network components appears to be on the rebound." Wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies are evolving. They are becoming available in more useful forms than simple protocol specifications and chipsets. The market trend is that modules are becoming more sophisticated and more capable of meeting the demands of a broad market opportunity. Currently, many of the technologies competing for market share in the Wireless Sensor Networks are still in the emergent state. "Companies are back in growth mode are looking for new opportunities to expand their revenues. Some OEMs are taking an acquisition approach to evolving their product line, while others are integrating emerging wireless sensor network options into their products," says West.
This new study offers a comparison overview between home security applications and utility management and energy monitoring applications. It demonstrates that while the usual listing of home security, entertainment and lighting control, automated fire containment and alarm, burglar deterrence, etc. are all important, the application in energy use monitoring and utility management will be immense. According to key findings in this report, "nearly 70% of the average household utility bill could be influenced by WSN application to temperature and lighting." This means that home and building owners can use interactive energy management tools to create energy management profiles that are triggered by certain established consumption rates. Wireless sensor networks can automatically turn off low priority lighting, heating, and cooling zones when energy consumption exceeds the designated limits.
The adoption of WSN technology is likely to impact other sectors as well. For example, the Industrial Sector is expected to undergo "workflow churn" as WSN applications increase safety, efficiency, and reliability of industrial facilities. In the area of personal and national security, growing demand will drive growth in the wireless sensor network market considerably, particularly for border control, access, and defense.
This report covers emerging Wireless Sensors and Control Network technologies and protocols including IEEE 802.15.4, Bluetooth Low Energy, EnOcean, ZigBee, Z-Wave, and Low Power WiFi. It provides an in-depth assessment and analysis of chipsets and includes comprehensive analysis of the various sensor and M2M network layers. Industry details regarding sales volume, unit shipments, and average selling price by vertical market segment are also included. Market data is also segmented by geography and divided into three global GDP growth scenarios.
