In recent years, sensor networks intended for monitoring and controlling facilities or equipment, or observing environments or spaces, have been drawing a lot of attention. A sensor network will have ...

Sensor networks are highly distributed networks of small, lightweight wireless nodes, deployed in large numbers to monitor the environment or system by the measurement of physical parameters such as ...

For many IoT applications, such as those installed outdoors, wireless sensor nodes (WSNs) can be powered using solar technology. In the presence of light, the system is powered by the solar source, ...

GCell, a world leader in the manufacturer of Solar iBeacon hardware, has been working with Professor Marcel Meli and Zurich University of Applied Sciences Institute of Embedded Systems (ZHAW) to ...

Wireless sensor nodes can operate from 100s of microWatts to 10s of milliWatts making it feasible to power them from non-traditional sources such as energy harvesting, writes Tony Armstrong The ...

What are billed as the lowest power IEEE 802.15.4E compliant wireless sensor networking products enable tiny sensor “motes” to have a battery life exceeding 10 years. The claim to fame of the new ...

An IoT gateway and a series of wireless sensor nodes have been announced by Portwell. The IoT gateway, XM-1, is said to be the first to feature international patents of highly composable structure.

Engineers at Harvard and BBN Technologies are working on a project that will cover the city of Cambridge, MA, with wireless-sensor nodes mounted to telephone poles that could allow researchers to see ...

With the explosion in IoT edge nodes, feeding information concerning anything from the health of a patient to the health of a pot plant; the data collected, combined and analysed can reveal valuable ...
