Synopsis:

It has been a decade since technologists first talked about the "Internet of Things." Although there are many definitions and perspectives on what this means, it is clear that smart objects will become the largest part of the Internet's addressable space in the future.

The question has been: How do we connect with the virtual limitless smart objects that will and are being provisioned in personal area networks (PANs), home area networks (HANs), WLANs, LANs, WANs, etc.?

That question has largely been answered with IPv6 and 6LoWPAN and in this report we analyze its potentially disruptive impact and how ZigBee and 802.15.4 (ZigBee/15.4) are energizing this expanding ecosystem.

In 2010, ZigBee/802.15.4 chipset shipments nearly doubled. From an aggressive viewpoint, unit sales will increase by 800% in five years as Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) solutions continue to transform the energy, smart home, building automation, health/wellness and industrial sectors.

ON World has been researching low power wireless sensing and control technologies for the past decade and has published dozens of reports on this subject.
