Abstract
The WTRS Smart Metering and HAN Applications Report 2009 focuses on the
prospects for emerging wireless technologies in utilities markets,
specifically in home area network (HAN) and smart metering applications. It
analyzes the activities and developments of companies and alliances plus the
applications segments likely to adopt emerging wireless technologies,
including ZigBee and IEEE 802.15.4.
The report also takes into consideration the current global economic crisis.
It includes global & regional market trends & forecasts, regulatory issues,
standards development, economic effects, and strategic developments. Finally,
a 5-year forecast that details sales volume and unit shipments by vertical
technology segment provides data that can be used to build business or product
plans.
