Synopsis:

Cloud services, smart mobile technologies and wireless sensing and control solutions have filled in the missing pieces for the vision of the Internet of Things. Opportunities for Wireless Sensor Networking (WSN) and specifically ZigBee continue to expand and the latest developments provide mass market channels for the Smart Home.

Over the past 18 months, dozens of service providers have launched IP based Smart Home services, making this the focal point for WSN innovation and competition.

A few examples include the following:

  • Completion of IEEE 802.15.4g and 802.15.4e and IETF sensor networking standards such as RPL and CoAP.
  • Expanding opportunities for 6LoWPAN, ZigBee IP and ZigBee Smart Energy.
  • Dual protocol chipsets.
  • Hybrid SoCs with two physical layers
  • WSN components that cut energy consumption by 4X.
  • RFICs that operate at <1 volt.
  • Nano power energy harvesting ICs.

Within the next five years, 1 billion RFICs will be shipped per year for WSN markets. ZigBee and 802.15.4 will have the largest market share but low power variants of Bluetooth and WiFi will grow even faster.

In this report-- our 9th edition-- we analyze the evolving market forces, technology advances and competitive dynamics for 25 unique WSN markets and provide 5-year forecasts for 802.15.4/ZigBee and competing alternatives.

 

Primary Research:

900+ interviews including:

End Users
Utilities/energy retailers, consumers, home service providers, retailers, professional installers, systems integrators and industrial companies...

Vendors/Experts
WSN chipset and module providers, stack licensors, device manufacturers, software developers and industry experts.
