Research and Markets: Global Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) Market 2014-2024: Forecasts, Technologies, PlayersDUBLIN --(Business Wire)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7flpp9/wireless_sensor) has announced the addition of the "Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) 2014-2024: Forecasts, Technologies, Players" report to their offering. The WSN market is expected to grow to $1.8 billion by 2024. These figures refer to WSN defined as wireless mesh networks, i.e. self-healing and self-organising. Wireless Sensor Networks will eventually enable the automatic monitoring of forest fires, avalanches, hurricanes, failure of country wide utility equipment, traffic, hospitals and much more over wide areas, something previously impossible. It has started already with more humble killer applications such as automating meter readings in buildings, and manufacture and process cntrol. The WSN business is set to become a multibillion dollar activity but only if there is major progress with standards and technology. This techno-marketing report scopes manufacturers and developers and looks closely at the impediments to rollout and how to overcome them. For example, today's power sources often stand in way of the desired 20 year life so the report looks closely at how energy harvesting can help and profiles the relevant power source manufacturers. Ten year WSN forecasts are made based on the very latest information. US ahead but Asia catching up The USA dominates the development and use of WSN partly because of the heavier funding available there. US industry sits astride the computer industry thanks to companies such as Microsoft and IBM (News - Alert) and WSN is regarded as a next wave of computing, so US industry is particularly interested to participate. Add to that the fact that the US Military, deeply interested in WSN, spends more than all other military forces combined and creating and funding start-ups is particularly easy in the USA and you can see why the US is ahead at present. IDTechEx has profiled the main players in WSN, and their location by country is shown below. Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary And Conclusions 2. Introduction 3. Physical Structure, Software And Protocols 4. Actual And Potential Wsn Applications 5. Examples Of Developers And Their Projects 6. Power For Tags 7. Impediments To Rollout Of Wsn 8.
