Industry News Calendar of Events IEEE ISGT Conference 2016 September 6-9, 2016, Minneapolis, Minn. www.ieee-isgt.org M2M Zone @ CTIA September 10, 2016, Las Vegas, Nev. www.m2mzone.com ASIS 2016 Sept. 12 - 14, 2016, Orlando, Fla. www.asisonline.org/ Expansion of Natural Gas Pipeline Infrastructure Along with Tightening of Regulations Boost North America's Pipeline Leak Detection Market 6Wresearch has released the "North America Oil & Gas Pipeline Leak Detection System Market (2016-2022)" report. The report estimates and forecast the overall North America oil & gas pipeline leak detection system market by revenue, technology, application and country. The report also gives insights on the competitive landscape, market share by companies, market trends, company profiles, market drivers and restraints. The growing pipeline infrastructure to deliver energy to domestic and international markets have spurred the market for oil & gas pipeline Leak Detection System (LDS) in the North America region. The market for leak detection system in North America is promising and is offering huge opportunities as large number of pipeline projects have been recently awarded and several are in pipeline. According to 6Wresearch, the North America Oil & Pipeline Leak Detection System (LDS) market is projected to reach $1.58 billion by 2022. The Oil & Gas pipeline leak detection system market is likely to witness growth in North American region owing to expansion of Oil & Gas pipeline networks/ infrastructure and tightening of safety and environmental regulations in the region. According to Rajat Kharbanda, Senior Consultant, Research and Consulting, 6Wresearch, "In North America, the primarily used leak detection methods are the Compensated Mass Balance (CMB), Real Time Transient Model (RTTM) and Statistical Volume Balance (SVB)." On the other hand, "Acoustic / negative pressure wave, fiber optic cable and other leak detection methods such as ERTTM, vapor sensing tubes, infrared radiometer and thermal cameras are not very common in the region and are restricted to certain applications only. Each leak detection method has its own advantage and disadvantage and none of the existing technologies offers complete reliable solution, which is driving the need for more advanced leak detection technologies", Rajat added. 28 www.RemoteMagazine.com Remote Monitoring & Control 2016 November 3-4, 2016, Las Vegas, Nev. www.remoteexpo.com Internet of Things West November 3-4, 2016, Las Vegas, Nev. www.iot-west.com SCADA Technology Summit November 3-4, 2016, Las Vegas, Nev. www.scadatechsummit.com Find More Events at www.RemoteMagazine.com According to Ravi Bhandari, research analyst, research and consulting, 6Wresearch, "Compensated mass balance accounts for the maximum revenue share in the overall North America pipeline LDS market. However, statistical volume balance method is the most reliable leak detection method used in the region as it has low false alarm rate. Additionally, the statistical volume balance method is expected to register substantial growth by 2022". Embedded SIMs Provide Catalyst for M2M Market, Reaching over 50 Percent of Cellular M2M Connections by 2020 A new study from Juniper Research has found that embedded SIM cards will increasingly dominate the M2M space, accounting for more than 50 percent of connections by the end of the decade. According to the new study, M2M: Strategies & Opportunities for MNOs, Service Providers & OEMs 2016-2021 the introduction of the GSMA's embedded specification is likely to fuel the opportunity for service providers to offer remote provisioning of SIM cards. The study claimed that this in turn would greatly enhance the capabilities of service providers to update and augment offerings and subscriptions. Additionally, the study argued that migration to OTA (Over The Air) provisioning would facilitate a range of new business models, potentially increasing the lifetime value of M2M subscription while also reducing costs. The report highlighted the increased benefits that embedded SIMs would offer to customers across an array of verticals, as remote provisioning would oblige operators to compete on pricing, functionality and customization capabilities. Other key findings include that smart metering and connected car connections will comprise the majority of all cellular M2M embedded connections over the next five years. 3G connections will comprise half of all cellular M2M connections in 2021, due to the need for an affordable and low speed service. Network operators should capitalze the growth of M2M by offering customisable M2M platforms that offer a variety of simple billing models. http://www.remoteexpo.com http://www.ieee-isgt.org http://www.iot-west.com http://www.m2mzone.com http://www.scadatechsummit.com http://www.RemoteMagazine.com http://www.asisonline.org/ http://www.RemoteMagazine.com
