The Wireless Sensor Network Market – A Sea of Small Volume Opportunities

Mountain View, CA, February 22, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The study, “WTRS Wireless Sensor Network Technology Trends, Q1 2012,” analyzes competitive activities by prominent industry alliances and market penetration of associated wireless sensor network protocols.

“Many new opportunity areas for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have emerged into public view that do not possess large chip volume potential but very strong business cases,” according to Kirsten West, principal analyst with WTRS. “WSN technologies are becoming available in more useful forms than simple protocol specifications and chipsets. Availability of modules across all the emerging wireless protocols supports the development of WSNs in smaller individual market volume opportunities. Combined these lower volume opportunities represent tremendous potential for companies directly engaged with consumers of the end product.”

The WTRS Wireless Sensor Network Technology Trends Report analyzes and forecasts the market for wireless sensor networks. The report includes an evaluation of emerging Wireless Sensor Network technologies and associated software including ZigBee, Bluetooth Low Energy, Wavenis, IEEE 802.15.4, Low Power WiFi, Z-Wave, EnOcean, Dash7, and others.
