Wireless Mesh Network Market Trends

Growth Drivers

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Communications - There were 8.8 billion machine-to-machine (M2M) connections around the world in 2020, a 21% increase from the year before. With the increased demand for the Internet of Things (IoT), M2M communication has the potential to revolutionize wireless mesh networking. The technology allows machines to communicate with each other without the need for a human intermediary, which can significantly reduce costs and increase efficiency.
Emerging New Generation of Industrial Automation and Industry 4.0 - A peak of 132 acquisitions related to Industry 4.0 was recorded in 2021, and over 74% of survey respondents now report that they are in the process of implementing their Industry 4.0/Smart Factory initiatives. Wireless mesh networks are particularly useful for industrial automation, as they enable real-time communication between machines, robots, and sensors. This allows for more efficient production processes and improved safety, as well as reduced costs. Industry 4.0, with its emphasis on automation, will require more sophisticated and reliable wireless mesh networks that can support a variety of connected devices and systems.
Increasing Number of Connected Devices Across the World - The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the proliferation of smart devices are leading to more and more connected devices. This increased connectivity creates the need for better communication networks, such as wireless mesh networks, which are more reliable and secure than traditional networks. These networks are self-recovering, self-configuring networks that provide reliable and secure connections between devices. They are also highly scalable, which makes them ideal for large-scale IoT deployments.

Challenges

High installation costs - Wireless Mesh Network requires expensive equipment and installation costs, which makes it difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to adopt it. Furthermore, the wireless mesh network's signal range is limited, and it requires infrastructure and power to operate, which can be costly.
Security threats, and limited bandwidth
Latency issues
