The Future of Direct Communications Technologies and Proximity-based Applicat...ReportLinker.com
Overview: There are a number of technologies that may be deployed that all provide the ability for devices to "discover" one another, although over different distances ranging from centimeters (Near Field Communications), to meters (Bluetooth), to 10s of meters (Wi-Fi). They also all provide the ability for the devices to communicate directly with one another without a centralized network. Some of these use direct communication as their primary mode of communication e.g. NFC or RFID. Others are more traditional networks which provide direct communication ability as an adjunct to their primary network functions e.g. LTE-Direct or Wi-Fi Direct. Most of the short-term drivers for proximity-based services will be mobile advertising and social networking, especially friend-finder services or dating services, and gaming. In the longer term, other applications will come into play within the scope of the so called Internet of Things. The challenge and opportunity for network operators will be to develop new user scenarios and even new business models to generate revenues from these services.

Smart Grid and Consumers
Published on July 2010
Report Summary
The zone of interaction between the smart grid and the consumer has been characterized as 'the great unknown.' Yet ready or
not'with the smart grid rapidly taking shape, a rush of companies swarming the market, state mandates kicking into effect, and actual
deployments being built out'the smart grid is now poised to plunge headlong into this largely unexplored land of consumer demand.
Yet so far, despite optimistic reconnaissance gathered from pilot projects and other preliminary tests, real-world expeditions into the
new consumer frontier have met with a host of problems'from cost overruns to consumer resistance. So perhaps at this point it would
be prudent to step back and reassess this terra incognita.
The smart grid is currently conservatively valued at just over $20 billion in the United States and over $70 billion globally. Yet only
about 10% of this amount is accounted for by consumer applications'mostly smart meters. The smart grid will only truly achieve its
goals if it establishes positive two-way communications between utilities and consumers. This means that residential applications and
services must necessarily gain significantly in share before the smart grid can realize its visionary promise.
This study presents a wealth of insights into smart grid/consumer dynamics. It examines the issues involved in building positive
two-way communications interactions, and the intrinsic negative resistance that can be expected. With a focus on residential
applications and services, it provides an in-depth analysis of advanced metering infrastructure, smart meters, demand response,
dynamic pricing, home energy management systems, home area networks, smart appliances, popular communications platforms, and
futuristic technologies. The competitive situation is also discussed, showing how giants like Cisco, Duke Energy, and Google are
entering a fledgling field so far dominated by relatively recent startups, such as Enernoc, Control4, and a flock of other companies.
Other areas covered in this study include product and marketing trends, recent smart grid deployments, and consumer surveys
regarding smart grid acceptance.
