VSD: Prognosis is good
02/20/2008
According to this report from IMS Research, there are only good times ahead for Video Smoke Detection companies like axonX, of Sparks, Md. and D-Tec, a U.K.-based business that just opened an office in Atlanta in December.
I’ll have more on this later, but Mac Mottley, CEO of AxonX , told me that IMS’s projection that the VSD market will reach $36 million by 2011 “are in line with our projections.†In fact, Mottley said the projections may even be low if, as Mottley expects, “we get larger players adopting the technology at a faster rate.â€Â
