West Technology Research Solutions, Aug 2011, Pages: 257
Wireless Sensor Networks in Smart Meters – A Market With Uncertain Impact
This market report analyzes and forecasts the market for Wireless Sensor Networks. The report includes a thorough evaluation of emerging Wireless Sensor Network technologies including ZigBee, Bluetooth Low Energy, Z-Wave, Low Power WiFi, EnOcean, IEEE 802.15.4, and other proprietary options. The report includes global & regional market trends & forecasts, regulatory issues, standards development, economic effects, and strategic developments.
“The opportunity for wireless sensor networks in smart meters is far from settled. While there are a fair number of wireless sensor network chips in new meters installed in the field, most are not active and many did not ship with a software stack on board. Additionally, most of the emerging opportunity for smart meters will be outside the US. Much of the success will depend on the development of home area network applications.”

WSN technologies are becoming available in more useful forms than simple protocol specifications and chipsets. Modules are becoming more sophisticated and more capable of meeting the demands of a broad market opportunity across all WSN technology types. A broad majority of the market opportunity for wireless sensor networks exists in applications that represent smaller individual market volumes, not worth the development costs entailed in producing a chip for many of the large semiconductor manufacturers. However combined these lower volume opportunities represent tremendous sales potential for companies directly engaged with consumers of the end products.
The WTRS Wireless Sensor Network Technology Trends Report is an essential tool for understanding the WSN market. The report includes a thorough evaluation and analysis of emerging Wireless Sensor Network technologies and associated software including ZigBee, Bluetooth Low Energy, Low Power WiFi, Z-Wave, EnOcean, IEEE 802.15.4, Wavenis, Dash7, and other proprietary options. It 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 offers an extended look at potential and strategic partnership opportunities and industry trends. It contains an in-depth assessment and analysis of chipsets and evaluates the participating OEMs in this segment. Finally, the report provides a 5-year forecast that details sales volume, unit shipments, and average selling price by vertical market segment as well as by geography.
