Another vendor that has been excluded is Smarty Ring,which had its crowdfunding campaign in 2013 and has not yet launched its product in the market. The company is presumed to be dissolved. The report also excludes vendors like Nod, whose Nod rings are merely a miniaturized version of a drone controller. The report also excludes ring vendors such as Siren-ring, which is a device that can emit a loud noise that can be used for self-defense, mainly by women in emergency situations.To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the total unit shipment of smart rings by the key leading vendors who accounted for 90% of the overall market in 2016. The average selling price was derived by finding out the prices of all smart ring vendors and the products offered by each of them in the market. The prices were found on the company's web page and online e-commerce sites. The average selling price was found for both Bluetooth- and NFC-enabled smart rings together.The global smart rings market is presumed to be the subset of global wearables market. In the global wearables market, the wrist wear devices include smartwatches and smart wristbands like fitness trackers and other notification bands.

Smart plugs transform ordinary appliances into smart appliances. They are costeffective alternatives for smart appliances. The technology is expected to have a high penetration among millennials. The use of and dependence on devices that can be controlled remotely through a wireless connection is increasing globally, which is a key factor that is driving the smart plug market. The need for connectivity is increasing,especially because it allows consumers to control devices and perform tasks remotely.Smart appliances depend on wireless technologies like ZigBee, Wi-Fi, Z-Wave,Bluetooth, and NFC, as well as the Internet of Things (IoT) and OS like iOS, Android,Azure, and Tizen for consumer command and control.This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global smart plug market for 2016-2021.

mHealth segment is expected to witness the fastest growth in the market, due to the increase in healthcare cost, the demand for patient centric healthcare model,and the occurrence of chronic and lifestyle-related diseases.The Americas had the largest share of the smart healthcare market in 2015, due to the presence of sophisticated IT infrastructure that enables the easy implementation of advanced healthcare facilities.Most wearable healthcare devices function on GPS, wireless networks, and M2M technology. Therefore, the battery life of these devices is very low because of their high power consumption. This also affects the durability of these devices and,

therefore, has the potential to affect the demand for smart wearable healthcare devices in the coming years, which will have a direct impact on the market.This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global smart healthcare market from 2016-2020.

Small cells are low-powered radio access nodes, and they operate in licensed bands.These are used in indoor and densely populated areas to provide better wireless network coverage. The coverage area of small cells varies from more than 32 feet to a few miles, which is comparatively less than that of mobile macrocells. The types of small cells that are commonly used by telecom operators globally include femtocells,picocells, microcells, and metrocells.Small cell base stations play an important role in expanding the capacity of wireless

networks. Implementation of small cells is considered eco-friendly as it reduces the number of cell towers and provides a better signal with less power. Users experience low latency for data services and enjoy faster downloads and uploads with small cells.The global small cell market is expected to see significant growth during 2016-2021. In 2016, the Americas dominated the market, followed by APAC and EMEA. The global small cell market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.80% during the forecast period.

Simulation and analysis is one of the segments of product lifecycle management (PLM) software. Simulation and analysis software simulates and analyses a products' strength, durability, safety, and effect of heat and vibration on the product. Simulation and analysis software consists of three segments: finite element analysis (FEA),computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and electromagnetics (Emag). Engineers use simulation and analysis software to test and simulate the product design during the product development cycle. It helps to reduce the costly errors and improves the timeto-market of a product.This report covers the present scenario and the future growth prospects of the global simulation and analysis software market for 2017-2021. The report considers 2016 as the base year. The report presents the vendor landscape and a detailed analysis of the major vendors in the market based on revenue. The report also considers the revenue obtained from the sales of software licenses.

The report focusses on the global rugged device market for the period 2016-2020. The report considers rugged versions of devices such as notebooks, tablets, handhelds, and scanners. The rugged handheld segment includes only mobile computers, PDAs,and smartphones with the screen size of 5-6 inches. Rugged tablets include tablets with or without a detachable keyboard.

This report covers the present scenario and growth prospects of the global real-time locating systems (RTLS) market in the healthcare sector for 2017-2021.
