Installed Base of zigBee-Enabled smart Energy Devices To surpass 219 Million units worldwide by 2020

摘要

In the last few years, devices based on ZigBee have gained significant momentum in the energy sector. Some leading US utilities have deployed ZigBee-enabled smart meters, and have encouraged customers to purchase home area network (HAN) devices that can connect to such smart meters for improved energy management. ZigBee smart meter deployments are taking hold in other countries, such as Australia and the United Kingdom, as well. According to a new report from Navigant Research, the worldwide installed base of ZigBee-enabled smart energy devices will grow from 39.5 million at the end of 2012 to 219.2 million devices by 2020.
