| Remote Notes: |
| Wireless Sensor Networks: For a Green World |
| Our factories, refineries, warehouses, and offices all waste energy. However, by using the next generation of ZigBee-based wireless sensor networks, not only can we greatly reduce wasted energy, but we can also reduce the amount of energy required to actually operate these networks. Until now, wires and cables for power and connectivity have limited the widespread adoption of sensor networks by making them difficult and expensive to install and maintain. Battery-powered wireless networks can simplify installation and reduce cost, but their high power consumption and the corresponding need for regular battery replacement has made wireless networks difficult and costly to maintain. |

| M2M (machine-to-machine) isn’t the small, niche market it used to be. Machine-to-machine has made it to the worldwide stage. And though the global market has yet to reach the 12-digit revenue figures market analysts love to use to describe its booming growth potential, the industry is making considerable headway around the globe. |
|
| Remote Notes: |

|
| Enabling Technologies: |
| If You Ask It, They Will Answer |
| There are a number of topics that can stir up quite the discussion among those in the WSN (wireless sensor networking) world: what the “right” networking protocol is, how to best power senor nodes, or even what’s the best way to determine return on investment. To really delve into these topics, Managing Editor Cassie del Pilar and Editorial Director Peggy Smedley brought together 19 companies that are leading WSN innovation and received their insight into the most important business and technological issues potenial WSN adopters need to consider. |
|
| M2M Strategies: |
| Emerging with Innovation |
| The WSN (wireless sensor networking) industry is emerging as a force to be reckoned with in the M2M (machine-to-machine) world. It stands strong as one of the Six Pillars of M2M and is proving to be one of the fastest growing market segments in the machine-to-machine space. |
