WTRS Wireless Control Network Technology Trends ReportProduct Type: Market Research ReportPublished by: West Technology Research Solutions, LLC Published: November 2006 Product Code: R684-52 Description The WTRS Wireless Control Network Technology Trends Report provides the industry’s only examination of current market conditions and design win analysis for ZigBee, 802.15.4, Wavenis, Z-Wave, and INSTEON. The report examines the market potential, intellectual property issues, state of the industry supply chain, effectiveness of existing technologies and components, total addressable market of the applications adopting wireless control network technologies today, and market share of the existing component level hardware and software products.“There is a general consensus among the silicon providers that consumer applications, for both ZigBee and IEEE 802.15.4, will not emerge on a significant scale until the industry is prepared to lower its margins to a level that enables consumer products to add this new functionality without dramatically increasing the overall product cost,” says Dr Kirsten West, Principal Analyst of WTRS. “In general, estimates range from 2-4 years before component markets are mature enough to support adoption by consumer applications.” The Wireless Control Network Technology Trends Report WTRS uncovers: (1) The current conversion rate of ZigBee development kit shipments to active product development programs. (2) The significant market penetration of Wavenis across a wide range of sector. (3) The relative market adoption of INSTEON, Z-Wave, ZigBee, and IEEE 802.15.4 in Residential markets. (4) Analysis of consumer adoption characteristics of Wireless Control Network-enabled products. (5) A profitability analysis of Zensys. (6) The dynamics of the ZigBee software market and provides a forecast of ZigBee Network Stack Software License Pricing through 2011. (7) ZigBee & IEEE 802.15.4 component and network stack software market share for 2006. (8) A technical comparison of ZigBee, IEEE 802.15.4, Wavenis, INSTEON, and Z-Wave components and network features. (9) The top ZigBee transceivers available today and assesses their applicability for various product market applications. (10) The risk of litigation by an industry participant which may inhibit adoption in a key market segment. (11) Supply issues in manufacturing experienced by ZigBee competition. 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, and others. Using only publicly available information, meticulously gathered from public patent sources, filing information, court activities, and other research this report is truly an invaluable resource for any company participating in the ZigBee standard, or planning a potential entry into this market.
