002 Modular Wireless Sensor Networks

Name 002 Modular Wireless Sensor Networks
Short Description Wireless sensor networks are well-suited for environmental monitoring, industrial automation, agriculture, mining, and many other applications.
What problem is
being solved?
Currently, each new wireless sensor system deployment requires a ground-up development cycle. There are few "out-of-the-box" sensor solutions which are suitable for easy customisation (through modular system design) and rapid deployment (through suitable software and communications infrastructure).
