AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwired - June 01, 2016) - IoT solutions are being used to provide safety and security to U.S. homes, businesses and individuals. The key drivers for the use of IoT in the security sector are safety, security and cost savings. Furthermore, security systems are converging with Smart Home automation systems, thus providing complete IoT solutions for home owners.
iGR, a market research consultancy focused on the wireless and mobile industry, has released a new market study that discusses the use of IoT for the security market and provides a five-year forecast of the number of mobile IoT connections and the number of IoT sensors for the U.S. security industry.
"Consumers increasingly want constant access to information regarding their property, whether it be a residence or a business, and IoT solutions can provide that information," said Iain Gillott, president and founder of iGR. "Over the next five years, iGR expects a growing number of IoT connections on the 3GPP mobile network to be used to support these security solutions."
iGR's new market study, IoT for Security Forecast, 2015 - 2020: Protecting Homes, Businesses and People, provides a five-year forecast of the U.S. total addressable market for the security industry; the number of monitored U.S. buildings according to the type of monitoring connection -- landline or mobile; the number of security IoT mobile connections; the number of security IoT sensors; and finally, the number of overall 'connected devices' mobile connections and how that number compares to the number of security IoT mobile connections.
In addition to the forecasts, the market study defines the Internet of Things, the networks that support IoT, and the benefits and issues surrounding its deployment. Further, the study discusses the use of IoT for the security market and the specific solutions being provided by vendors.
The following key questions are addressed in the new research study:
- What is the Internet of Things?
- What types of networks are used to support the Internet of Things?
- What are some of the perceived benefits and issues related to IoT?
- How and why is IoT being used to support the Security industry?
