Wireless Sensor Networks in Smart Meters – A Market With Uncertain Impact
“The opportunity for wireless sensor networks in smart meters is far from settled,” according to Kirsten West, principal analyst with WTRS. “While there are a fair number of wireless sensor network chips in new meters installed in the field, most are not active and many did not ship with a software stack on board. Additionally, most of the emerging opportunity for smart meters will be outside the US. Much of the success will depend on the development of home area network applications.”

Wireless Charging Technology Empowers Electric Vehicle Markets and Changes Consumer Behavior
"The benefits of implementing wireless charging technology in electric vehicles far outweigh the challenges. The technology not only offers a solution to the safety and convenience issues currently inhibiting electric vehicle adoption, but also presents an opportunity to change consumer behavior.", said Kirsten West, Principal Analyst with WTRS. "Combined with wireless communication technology, wireless charging could further abstract the maintenance and care of electric vehicles turning them truly into transportation tools and away from devices that require thought and attention. In a very real sense wireless charging technology offers the equivalent change for consumer usage of the vehicle as cell phones with integrated downloadable third party applications and location and accelerometer capability has done for communications."
