MEMS Sensors for 'Long Tail' Applications (Room Executive Ballroom C)

23 Jun 16
11:00 AM - 11:40 AM

Tracks: MEMS & Sensors

MEMS sensors are developed for “mega-platforms,” 100 million+ unit products like smartphones, but most attendees’ applications reside in the “Long Tail,” the diverse spectrum of applications with shipments of 1 million units or less. This session will discuss MEMS sensors for Long Tail applications and the sourcing options. ATTENDEE BENEFITS & TAKEAWAYS: - The concept of the “Long Tail,” the diverse and valuable spectrum of applications that have volumes of less than a million units - Learn how and why current MEMS companies focus on the mega-platforms, and why they cannot address the needs of the billions of dollars of value in the Long Tail - Learn how Long Tail companies and markets can find the MEMS sensor they need, and the pros and cons of the primary sourcing options
