Hello,

I started this cluster of blogs because there was no spot on the web which accumulated, in an unbiased fashion, information about the progress of emerging wireless technologies as they gain a foothold in existing markets with innovative new products. There are a number of wireless technologies which are ready to be integrated into real products. In fact the low data rate wireless protocols are well ahead on others like UWB and WiMAX. So I have a blog on this site dedicated to accumulating news about the new end products incorporating wireless protocols like ZigBee, INSTEON, and Z-Wave.

I hope that you enjoy reading what I put up here. I would love to hear any suggestions for making these blogs more useful.

Thanks for reading!

Cheers,

Kirsten West

Bio:
I am the principal analyst and founder of WTRS, an independent market research and consulting service that delivers the most up-to-date information to assess market opportunities, evaluate investments, monitor competition, form relationships, and make crucial business decisions regarding cutting-edge wireless technologies.

I have 15 years of experience in Business Development, Technical Marketing, and Market Research positions working for both established companies and start-up organizations. My education includes a Masters degree in experimental physics, which relied on research I performed at NASA Ames Research Center to develop new methods of testing planetary atmospheres for organic precursors. I went on to get a doctorate while developing instruments to measure the force of individual motor proteins; this was admittedly an esoteric endeavor, but incredible to be the first in history to do it.
