SmartMesh IP Motes SmartMesh IP Motes are the wireless nodes in a SmartMesh IP network. They connect to sensors/actuators and route data from other motes, yet remain low power. Each mote can both send and receive messages (supports bidirectional data). Each mote may have a different data reporting rate and the network manager will automatically coordinate individual…
Today, Smart Grid, smart manufacturing, smart homes, smart water networks and intelligent transportation are infrastructure systems that connect our world more than we ever thought possible. While research on WSN (wireless sensor networks) started in the 1980s, it s in the last decade that WSNs have generated greater interest from both industrial and research…

Recent technological advances have enabled the development of sensing platforms that include different types of sensors, and integrate several components such as memory, processor, and radio. Time synchronization is a critical service for a wide range of applications in wireless sensor networks. Through this service, the sensors in the network are able to coordinate…
The increased adoption of wireless sensors across industry is due, like most industrial technologies, to solid, practical reasons. Chief among these reasons is ease of implementation (no long cable runs), ability to operate in harsh environments, easy troubleshooting and repair, and high levels of performance. If you’ve been following the adoption of wireless…
A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of autonomous devices with inbuilt sensors for monitoring various environmental and physical conditions at various places and times. These devices have traditionally been networked using the I 802.15.4 standard as the base with standards like Zigbee, 6LoWPAN, WirelessHART, etc., forming the upper layers. These standards…
The emergence of sensor networks as one of the dominant technology trends in the coming decades (Technol. Rev. (February 2003)) has posed numerous unique challenges to researchers. These networks are likely to be composed of hundreds, and potentially thousands of tiny sensor nodes, functioning autonomously, and in many cases, without access to renewable energy…
Applications of Wireless Sensor Networking: In the present era there are lot of technologies which are used for monitoring are completely based on the wireless sensor networking. Some of important applications are environmental monitoring, traffic control application, weather checking, regularity checking of temperature etc. Wireless sensor networks can also…
