INTRODUCTION
Wireless sensor devices connect sensors wirelessly among each other as well as to monitoring and management setups. This report forecasts the market size of wireless sensors for the years 2012-2019. This report is an update of the one published in 2011. The wireless sensor landscape is characterized by diversity on the following fronts:
- The parameter being sensed.
- The end-vertical application.
- Wireless technology adopted.
Consequently, the market for wireless sensors is fragmented and disorganized. This report straddles this diversity and presents a consolidated picture of the market. Since
the publication of the last report, wireless sensors continue to make new headways, but are unable to bite the bullet when it comes to consolidation among diverse wireless
technologies. This failure has resulted in an adverse impact on the growth rate, which nevertheless remains attractive. While the sensing principles of wireless sensors are consistent with that of wireline sensors, wireless sensors have the challenge of operating with an attractive form and with robust power management. The payout is spectacular. In most cases, wireless sensors beat their wireline counterparts hands down in the following aspects:
- Physical reach.
- Time to roll out and install.
- Pricing.
- Suitability in harsh operating environments.
Wireless sensor devices are the actual sensing elements that are present in the wireless sensor networks. They do not include gateways or management software. This report deals exclusively with wireless technologies employed in the personal area network (PAN) and local area network (LAN) topologies. It does not cover wide area networks (e.g., commercial cellular networks).
