Quantifiable Business Intelligence

Only through in-depth knowledge of your competitors' strengths and weaknesses can you develop a successful business strategy. ON World's competitive and technology analysis using the wsnSimulator™ makes this an affordable undertaking for companies of all sizes.

The wsnSimulator™ provides unbiased competitive analysis on competing WSN technologies as well as verifying your technology claims for partners, customers, and potential investors.

For manufacturers, software developers, component suppliers, and investors, this tool allows you to:

* Analyze on the strengths of your technology in comparison to others in your target market

* Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of potential partners and suppliers

* Conduct due diligence on potential investments

* Define your company's differentiators and streamline product development

*If you are interested in a customized simulation, please contact us

Today, there are many competing Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technologies such as radios, microcontrollers, and network protocols, sensors, and power sources. Sorting through all of this is an enormous task and companies make claims that cannot be verified without expensiveand time-consuming testing.

In order to better analyze the power and performance needs of individual nodes in specific applications, ON World created the wsnSimulator™.  This simulator interchanges WSN node hardware components, payloads, processors, sensors, harvesters, and batteries while factoring in unique operational parameters for each of the fore mentioned parts. Using this tool, companies can reduce the number of technologies that need to evaluated, saving them time and money. For startups, suppliers, and vendors, the wsnSimulator™ provides verification and validation of your technology's differentiators.

The wsnSimulator™ normalizes complex WSN applications (e.g. transmission rate, payload, and attached sensors) in order to compare the power consumption and performance characteristics of end nodes, routers, and controllers. This tool runs these virtual hardware nodes within one of several WSN networks such as CSMA, TDMA, Sampled Listening, ZigBee, Bluetooth, WiFi and EnOcean. 

The wsnSimulator™ factors in neighborhood nodes and overlapping networks to analyze transmission collisions, latency, and dropped packets among other network factors. With this tool we have the capability of simulating advanced multi thousand node WSN deployments as well as single node controllers, gateways and end nodes.

PowerShot Reports:

To demonstrate the power consumption and performance popular WSN radios and protocols in specific application areas, ON World publishes a series of market research reports called "Technology PowerShots."

Each PowerShot consists of the following:

* Recent market data to illustrate adoption trends, needs and wants
* Analysis on the current "state of the market."
* Competing alternatives and variations
* Power and performance simulations on several radios, protocols and network types using the wsnSimulator™.
