embedded WiFi and identifies opportunities for market growth by application. The report includes
coverage of significant market participants and requirements in major application areas.

Mountain View, CA, May 02, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The study, “WTRS Low Power Embedded WiFi
Emerging Technology Q2 2011,” is now updated to reflect current market conditions.

“The opportunity for Low Power Embedded WiFi is substantial and eclipses that of ZigBee, given the
existing infrastructure that WiFi-based networks can leverage and the lack of generalized demand for
complex mesh networking among the majority of WSN applications,” said Kirsten West, Principal
Analyst with WTRS. “If proponents of this WSN technology can stimulate the WiFi Alliance to place
attention on the WSN sector, with sufficient marketing focus, it is quite likely that low power embedded
WiFi will gain a strong and significant portion of the overall WSN market.”

market for low power embedded WiFi components. The report includes an evaluation of the emerging
technology in significant market segments.
