Smart Products | Demand for Wireless Sensor Networks Picking Up in 2010: ABI Research
According to recent ABI Research findings, demand for wireless sensor networks has shown remarkable recovery in 2010, following a slump during the recent economic recession. In 2009, 802.15.4 chipset shipments fell by 30 percent compared with the previous year.
In its recent report titled, “Wireless Sensor Networking Markets,” ABI Research (News - Alert) has revealed a strong uplift in shipments in 2010 which will help drive growth from a little more than 10 million chipsets in 2009 to 645 million in 2015, a CAGR of 99.6 percent.
Tiny radio antennas could replace building wiring
A new study has found a way to implement wireless monitoring technology in buildings with uses ranging from climate control to health and safety applications by tapping into heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) ducts... The finding could lead to significant time and cost savings for builders and building managers, since the systems can be put into place without the expense and effort of running wires throughout a structure.
Chinese Premier Talks Up Internet of Things
In the last quarter of 2009, a number of significant public speeches were made about Internet of Things in China. It started on August 7, when Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao made a speech in the city of Wuxi calling for the rapid development of Internet of Things technologies. It included this equation: Internet + Internet of Things = Wisdom of the Earth. Wen Jiabo followed up with a speech on November 3 at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, in which he encouraged breakthroughs in key technologies for sensor networks and the Internet of Things.
Connecting Your Car, Socks and Body to the Internet
