WSN Update

(MARKET WIRE) -- 05/23/2005 -- A new update of the Emerging Sensor and M2M Technologies & Markets Report released by WTRS finds that the ZigBee sector of the marketplace is gaining momentum and suppliers are positioning for the final stages of product release.

According to WTRS principal analyst, Kirsten West, Ph.D., "Integration Associates' acquisition of CompXs is a perfect example of the recent consolidation activity in the industry. Integration Associates has quite deftly, and in one fell swoop, swung itself into the forefront of leading ZigBee and IEEE 802.15.4 component vendors, placing it now squarely in competition with Freescale and Atmel. In a market space driving towards integration of controllers and RFICs, companies that are focused on providing customers with low-cost solutions that leverage existing design tools, development tools, and supplier relationships will gain the dominant share of the market."
