Museum of American FinanceKristin Aguilera, Communications Business Wire 2009. DUBLIN, Ireland(Business Wire)Research and Markets( http://) hasannounced the addition of the "Wireless Sensor Network Technology Trends ReportQ4 2008" to their offering. This market report analyzes and forecasts the market for Wireless SensorNetworks. The report includes a thorough evaluation of emerging Wireless SensorNetwork technologies including ZigBee, Z-Wave, Low Power WiFi, EnOcean, IEEE802.15.4, and other proprietary options.

This report is designed to support development of business and product planningactivities. In the Wireless Sensor Network world, the individual component vendors haveoptimized their products to suit specific application requirements. Many of themodule manufacturers have achieved competitiveness with their products in termsof both pricing and performance that will enable the overall market for WSNcomponents to expand. Until recently the industry lacked the capability toprovide a vertical suite of development tools to assist companies unfamiliarwith wireless technology in the development, integration and deployment ofwireless sensor network functionality.

However, Wireless Sensor Networks areincreasingly indispensable in Home Automation, Industrial Automation, BuildingControl, Smart Metering, and power management markets. The Wireless Sensor Network Technology Trends Report Q4 2008 is an essentialtool not only for understanding and making sense of the WSN market, but also forany company in the above-named markets to be taking advantage of theopportunities currently available. The report includes a thorough evaluation andanalysis of emerging Wireless Sensor Network technologies and associatedsoftware including ZigBee, Low Power WiFi, Z-Wave, EnOcean, IEEE 802.15.4, andother proprietary options. It tracks the formation of industry alliances andSIGs, development of standards, analyzes the potential market opportunities forcomponent OEMs, describes initial versus long-range drivers in the market, andoffers an extended look at potential and strategic partnership opportunities andindustry trends. It contains an in-depth assessment and analysis of chipsets andevaluates the participating OEMs in this segment.

Finally, the report provides a5-year forecast that details sales volume, unit shipments, and average sellingprice by vertical market segment as well as by geography. Who needs this report End Product OEMs RF Semiconductor Companies Module Manufacturers WSN Applications and Deployment Software Vendors Venture Capitalists and Financial Analysts MCU CompaniesWireless Sensor Networks (WSN) will particularly invade home and buildingapplications. This new report demonstrates that while the usual listing of homesecurity, entertainment and lighting control, automated fire containment andalarm, burglar deterrence, etc. are all important, the application in energy usemonitoring and utility management will be immense. The report finds that nearly 70 of the average household utility bill could beinfluenced by WSN application to temperature and lighting. It also establishesthat home and building owners can use interactive energy management tools tocreate energy management profiles that are triggered by certain establishedconsumption rates. As energy consumption exceeds a specific point, the WSN canautomatically begin turning off low priority lighting, heating, and coolingzones, using wireless humidity and temperature sensors as well as lighting andaccess monitors.
