 Last year, I read an article by Aaron Ricadela in InformationWeek that provided a comprehensive review of different commercial applications of WSN technology. Eventhough most of the applications stated here are pilot implementations, it provides good use cases for WSN technology. It starts with how SAIC is testing WSN for border security then goes into more commercial applications like HP's pilot that uses WSN for inventory management and BP's and Intel's industrial automation examples. The author makes an interesting point that the established tech companies including HP, Intel, and IBM are ceding the core mote technology development to startups like Dust, Crossbow and others since they see a bigger opportunity in providing installation services, mass producing chips, and developing software applications for wireless sensor nets.
I recommend this article for anyone who is looking for WSN deployment ideas. Read the article here

 A recent market report by Frost & Sullivan says eventhough wireless sensors are rapidly gaining ground in industrial sectors such as building automation and industrial automation, the adoption of this technology has been relatively slow. Educating and convincing end users about the various advantages of wireless sensors will be critical in increasing adoption levels. Further, the study mentions that the total wireless sensor revenues were $160 million in 2005 and it can reach $1850 million in 2012. Notice here F&S market size numbers are not as optimistics as the recent study by Irish firm Research and Markets suggests . As always let me know what you think. Read the F&S press release here

 Sandra Gittlen of Earthweb discusses how Zigbee can help IT Managers extend their reach into monitoring and controlling physical items within their organizations. Also, it talks about how Wi-Fi and Zigbee would interplay and how they're different. One item that surprised me was a quote from John DiGiovanni, director of marketing at Calif.-based wireless vendor Xirrus, "..there are well over a thousand companies developing with ZigBee so we can expect a growing stream of products over the next 12 months" Read the article here

 So says Research and Markets, a market research firm out of Dublin, Ireland says that the market for wireless sensor systems should grow rapidly over the next 5-10 years and has potential to reach 5 to 7 billion dollars in future. The WSN market will grow rapidly from its current small base, sales will multiply year-to-year. Annual growth rates will fall through a still substantial 40 or 50%. I think it has potential to be but it is too far out to predict that number right now. First, it needs to find a few solid beach heads to grow out of its currrent commercial infancy status. What do you guys think? Read the R&M press release here
