New Wireless Sensor Network Technology Trends

Bluetooth Low Energy Forecast to Dominate Wireless Sensor Network Market

A new report evaluates the opportunity for 802.15.4, EnOcean, Bluetooth Low Energy, Wavenis, Low Power Wi-Fi, and ZigBee chipsets. The report includes a five-year forecast of dominant technologies.

The newly updated study, “WTRS Wireless Sensor Network Technology Trends, Q2 2010”, reviews and analyzes the available and proposed technology solutions competing for dominance in the wireless sensor network segment.

This report covers emerging Wireless Sensor and Control Network technologies and protocols including IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee, Bluetooth Low Energy, EnOcean, Z-Wave, and Low Power WiFi.

The report tracks the formation of industry alliances and SIGs, development of standards, analyzes the potential market opportunities for component OEMs, describes initial versus long-range drivers in the market, and analyzes potential partnership opportunities and existing alliances.

The report is an in-depth assessment and analysis of chipsets and includes extensive analysis of the various sensor and M2M network layers. It is also and above all an analysis of potential markets, an evaluation of the participating OEMs, and a review of strategic partnerships and of industry trends.
The report also details sales volume, unit shipments, and average selling price by vertical market segment as well as by geography, all segmented into three global GDP growth scenarios.

“Bluetooth Low Energy will be a significant contributor to the overall Wireless Sensor Network market, representing nearly half of all shipments in 2015”, said Kirsten West, Principal Analyst with WTRS. “Bluetooth Low Energy is designed to compete with protocols like ZigBee in applications which require infrequent and short bursts of data communication. The advantage to this new protocol is that it is totally optimized for low power battery operation.”

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

The report also

- analyzes the potential market opportunities for Wireless Sensor Networks
- examines near versus long-range drivers impacting the market
- tracks the activities of industry alliances, strategic partnerships, and SIGs
- contains an in-depth assessment and analysis of chipset features
- evaluates energy harvesting technologies employed in wireless sensor networks

The report provides 5-year forecasts of dominant emerging wireless sensor network technologies that detail sales volume, unit shipments, and average selling price by vertical market segment as well as by geography. Applications forecast include Smart Metering, Home Area Network, Residential Health, Building Automation, Energy Management, Facility Medical, Industrial Automation, Consumer, Medical, Agriculture, Security, and Transportation. Historical price and volume data is also included.
