Utilities, Agriculture, Transportation, and Medical wireless applications under consideration today are among those with the most risk to market entry. Understanding the market drivers and inhibitors in these sectors is essential to companies developing Wireless Control Network technologies and also to those considering adopting the technologies into their end products. “Utilities theoretically stand to benefit from Automated Meter Reading with a wireless mesh operating in a neighborhood to reduce manual labor, operational expenses, and theft,” says Dr Kirsten West, Principal Analyst of WTRS. “In fact, the largest real and sustainable application for wireless control networks in AMR for the next few years will be that of ‘load shedding.” The Emerging Wireless Control Network Application Report from WTRS uncovers: (1) The applicability of Wireless Control Network technology to the Utilities, Agriculture, Transportation, and Medical segments. (2) It is possible that any one of these applications will loom large in the future, but for the present they are the pervue of isolated pilot programs at best. (3) An analysis of the impact of evolving regulatory issues in the Agricultural, Transportation, and Utilities sectors. (4) Dominant use cases for emerging wireless control networks in Utilities applications. (5) Risks associated with entry into the Agriculture, Transportation, Utiltiies, and Medical sectors. (6) The impact of smart card manufacturers on the development of near field communication (NFC) in the Medical sector. “Wireless Control Networks” are systems which utilize wireless technologies as the underlying platform to deploy networks for sensor and control applications. Examples of technologies and protocols included in the “Wireless Control Network” are WSN (wireless sensor networks), M2M, mesh networking, ZigBee, INSTEON, IEEE 802.15.4, RFID, Z-Wave, Wavenis, low data-rate UWB, and others. Using only publicly available information, meticulously gathered from public patent sources, company information, and other research this report is truly an invaluable resource for any company participating in the Telecom sector, or planning a potential entry into this market.
