Synopsis:
Based on over 400 surveys with end users, vendors and suppliers, this research product includes four separate reports focused on power solutions, one of the most essential innovation areas for Wireless Sensor Networking. This set of reports include the following:
1) Perpetual Power Solutions
With more than one hundred million Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) nodes to be deployed over the next five years, the quest for improved power sources is intensifying. Advances such as mesh networking enables large scale, self-configuring wireless sensor networks. The power needs of these wireless sensors is the current biggest impediment that keeps them from becoming completely autonomous, forcing them to be either tethered to an external power source or have lifecycles that are curtailed by batteries. Perpetual power solutions such as energy harvesting, super capacitors and rechargeable thin-film batteries promise to reduce labor costs and the environmental impact from disposing millions of batteries.
