WELLINGBOROUGH, United Kingdom — A recent IMS Research report found that air waves in buildings are increasingly being filled with signals from building automation systems.
Titled “Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA), and Americas Markets for Building Automation Controllers, Software, and Sensors – 2011 Edition,” the report states that wireless sensors accounted for just over 15 percent of the 21 million building automation sensors shipped in the EMEA and the Americas markets combined. The number of wireless sensors is forecast to increase to over 25 percent of total building automation sensors in EMEA and the Americas by 2015.
