WTRS Press Release

Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) November 29, 2006 -- 

The new WTRS Wireless Sensor Network Current Market Assessment Brief provides the industry’s only assessment of current and near term market conditions for ZigBee, 802.15.4, Wavenis, Z-Wave, and INSTEON. The report examines the specific design wins and development projects, state of the industry supply chain, effectiveness of existing technologies and components, and market share of the existing component level hardware products.

“End product companies and component companies alike are attempting to quantify relative market positions and current design wins which will yield product shipments in 2007 and 2008 for both 802.15.4 and ZigBee wireless technology applications,” says Dr Kirsten West, Principal Analyst of WTRS. “We have surveyed the top vendors and have released the results in this market brief.”

The WTRS Wireless Sensor Network Current Market Assessment Brief uncovers:

(1) The current conversion rate of ZigBee development kit shipments to active product development programs. This enables companies to forecast internal revenues for 2007.
(2) The significant market penetration of Wavenis across a wide range of sector.
(3) The relative market adoption of INSTEON, Wavenis, Z-Wave, ZigBee, and IEEE 802.15.4.
(4) ZigBee & IEEE 802.15.4 component market share for 2006.
(5) The top ZigBee transceivers available today and assesses their applicability for various product market applications.
(6) Supply issues in manufacturing experienced by ZigBee competition.

٭"Wireless Sensor Networks" are systems which utilize wireless technologies as the underlying platform to deploy networks for sensor and control applications. Examples of technologies and protocols included in the "Wireless Control Network" are WSN (wireless sensor networks), M2M, mesh networking, ZigBee, INSTEON, IEEE 802.15.4, RFID, Z-Wave, Wavenis, low data-rate UWB, NFC, and others.

Using only publicly available information, meticulously gathered from public patent sources, company information, and other research this report is truly an invaluable resource for any company participating in the Wireless Control Network sector, or planning a potential entry into this market.
