Finally, a 5-year forecast that details sales volume, unit shipments, and average selling price by vertical technology segment provides data that can be used to build business or product plans.

The WTRS Wireless Technology Trends Report fills the need for a comprehensive overview of wireless technology which analyzes the position of individual technologies in the context of the overall market. This report is designed for companies and individuals involved in or planning to enter the wireless market that are interested in a general overview accompanied by detailed forecasts.  
The Wireless Technology Trends Report from WTRS finds that:
(1) Efficient power management, low power operation on batteries and Energy Harvesting technologies are an emerging focus of Wireless Sensor Network technologies. These key enabling technologies are driving new solutions in the Wireless Sensor Networks industry.
(2) Ultrawideband has shifted from a nascent technology to a solidly emerging protocol underlying the certified wireless USB and Bluetooth "high speed" implementations.
(3) Certified wireless USB will enable wireless transfer of still and moving media from consumer electronics devices to personal computing and output devices.
(4) The Bluetooth standard continues to evolve, incorporating newly-emerging protocols such as near-field communications (NFC), Wibree and Ultra Wideband, to meet evolving market and application requirements.
(5) Wireless delivery of high definition video content is an area that has come to the fore over the last 12 months. The market for wireless delivery of high definition video promises to be large, with decisive consumer adoption once the technology has been proven in end products.
(6) WiMAX has come forward as significant competition to alternative technologies in emerging markets.

Companies mentioned include:
Amimon, Arch Rock, Bel Air Networks, Bluetooth SIG, Control4, Coronis Networks, CSR, DLNA, Dust Networks, Dynastream Innovations, Ember Corporation, Ericsson, GainSpan, GreenPeak Technologies, Harris Broadcast, HomeGrid Forum, Intel Corporation, LG Electronics, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., NEC Corporation, Netgear, Nokia, PulseLink, Qualcomm, Samsung, SiBeam, Sony Corporation, Towerstream, Verizon, Virtual Extension, WiMAX Forum, WiMedia Alliance, WirelessHD Alliance, ZigBee Alliance.
