Dash7 Emerges As Competitive Option in Wireless Sensor Network Market

A new West Technology Research Solutions report initiates coverage of the Dash7 wireless sensor network specification. The report includes coverage of all significant emerging wireless sensor network technologies and applications.

 

Mountain View, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/15/2010 -- The study, “WTRS Wireless Sensor Network Technology Trends, Q4 2010”, now includes coverage of the Dash7 protocol.

“The strengths of the Dash7 protocol include its reliance on an international standard, use of the 433 MHz frequency that enables international operation and longer range than its competition, and its design for lower power operation than many of its competitors”, said Kirsten West, Principal Analyst with WTRS. “Given the serious interest and participation by key players in several commercial markets as well as the technical capability of the protocol, it is likely that Dash7 will penetrate markets currently the target of other WSN technologies and could displace a good portion of its competition.”
