“It is possible to predict the market effectiveness of a particular WSN protocol based on ready availability and focus by leading suppliers on module offeringsModule offerings are today’s best solution to stimulate the WSN market to achieve the theoretical potential predicted by many for decades.”

WSN technologies are becoming available in more useful forms than simple protocol specifications and chipsetsModules are becoming more sophisticated and more capable of meeting market demands across all WSN technology typesA broad majority of the market opportunity for wireless sensor networks exists in applications that represent smaller individual market volumes, not worth the development costs entailed in producing a chip for many of the large semiconductor manufacturersHowever combined these lower volume opportunities represent tremendous sales potential for companies directly engaged with consumers of the end productsThis is precisely the opportunity for WSN modules.
