Low Power Wireless

Low-power wireless technologies are increasingly being adopted in industrial and commercial markets. In addition, media attention is growing surrounding the emerging use of low-power RF technologies in consumer applications, such as home healthcare, sports & fitness, ‘smart’ home area networks, and remote controls.

IMS Research has been analyzing these markets for a number of years, and we produce regular ‘application-specific’ reports in these areas (such as ‘Wireless Opportunities in Patient Monitoring’ and ‘Connectivity Opportunities in the Smart Home’), consumer surveys, technology focused reports (e.g. Bluetooth Low Energy) as well as an annual report: The World Market for Low-Power Wireless, which covers low-power technologies across all major application areas.

Low-power RF technologies forecast by the Connectivity analysts include: low-power Wi-Fi, Bluetooth low energy, ZigBee, 6LoWPAN, WirelessHART, ISA-100, Z-Wave, EnOcean, ANT+, and proprietary sub-GHz solutions.
