Research and Markets: 2009 Pervasive Internet/M2M Forecast Report Segments the Pervasive Internet According to 8 Key Venues and Monitors over 300 Different Device Categories

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5ecc03/2009_pervasive_int) has announced the addition of the "2009 Pervasive Internet/M2M Forecast Report" to their offering.

We are pleased to announce the publication of our 2009 forecast report for the Pervasive Internet (PI) and Smart Services. The new report is a follow up to our 2007 forecast. The report is an expansive update of our views on the market size and growth rates of the Pervasive Internet, the current state of adoption of PI technologies, and challenges that the market faces going forward. Both wireless and wireline technologies that are used for Pervasive Internet applications are covered in the report. The author segments the Pervasive Internet according to 8 key venues (Buildings, Industrial, Energy, Healthcare, Retail, Transportation, Security, and IT) and monitors over 300 different device categories in order to capture all the major activity in the highly diverse Pervasive Internet and Smart Services arena.

With the focus in the PI market now shifting more towards higher level services, a major part of the report covers the rapidly growing network and managed service opportunities. The author assesses each of these by breaking them down further into key elements within each Venue. Network Services, for example, breaks down to three elements - Configuration/Provisioning, Network Service Charge and Support Services. On the other hand, Managed Services is comprised of System Applications (mainly middleware related) and Value Added Services, each of which breaks down further into several elements. The purpose of these elements is to aid the planning and justification for "smart" remote services in all Venues.

In addition to this, the author has identified a series of stages through which PI service offerings tend to evolve. The forecasts for service growth have taken the early stages of this trend as the basis for our forecasting, so there is a considerable upside potential for later years depending how quickly businesses can address the implementation issues at the higher service levels.

It is clear from these forecasts that the market is now reaching a degree of high growth and mass adoption - there is substantially greater recognition of the technology capabilities and the potential benefits of connecting devices to the Internet. Coupled with this, though, much of the "low hanging fruit" of simple applications have now been discovered. The market must move forward into more complex applications where the need for innovation is much more evident. We believe that such innovation will be rewarded with considerably higher sales revenue.
