WTRS EnOcean and Self Powered Wireless Technology Q2 2011

Self-powered wireless technology has begun to attract the attention of the sensor market with its unique freedom from power requirements. As an energy-harvesting technology it provides solutions in a wide variety of sensor and control applications via very flexible facilities configuration through what are essentially stick-on switches. As one specific example, EnOcean technology is designed to be reliable and robust enough to suit diverse applications. The WTRS EnOcean and Self Powered Wireless Technology Report outlines EnOcean technology, patent, and corporate developments first and foremost but within the wider framework of all wireless sensor network technology and standards development. It analyzes six market segments likely to adopt self-powered wireless technology and also tracks the formation of industry alliances and SIGs; it further analyzes the potential market opportunities for OEMs, describes initial versus long-range drivers in the market, and analyzes potential partnership opportunities and existing alliances.
