WSN Systems

and Solutions
The recent advances in wireless communication and
electronics have led to the prominence of Wireless
Sensor Network (WSN) as the backbone technology for
various Control and Automation applications. WSN is a
network sustained by the collaborative efforts of large
number of sensor nodes which sense a physical
parameter, process and communicate the recorded data
to a Central Gateway for storage and further analysis.
There are several protocols and standards available for
WSN implementation with features like Low power
consumption, Self organization, Fault tolerance, Low
cost and longer standalone life.

Smart Building

Ubiquitous Agriculture (U-Agri)

Smart building is equipped with networked devices to

U-Agri is a solution developed based on WSN for pest

and disease forewarning in agricultural crops. The
devices used in U-Agri are C-Mote TM which can handle
various kinds of sensors for monitoring micro-climatic
parameters like Soil Moisture, Soil Temperature, Leaf
Wetness, Atmospheric Temperature and Relative
Humidity in the agricultural field. The numerous C-Motes
spanned over the field can be networked among
themselves and finally connected to the gateway
(WINGZ TM) for monitoring/ gathering the data over the
web. C-Mote TM and WINGZ TM can also harvest energy
from renewable sources like solar to sustain for longer
durations.

sense and actuate the appliances in home or office

environments. These devices are capable of sensing
(presence, energy usage etc) parameters in a building
and direct the user accordingly. The applications are self
adjustable to various usage patterns based on different
users.
The components in smart building include Ubimote TM,
WINGZ TM, PoE-PAN Co-Ord TM, Smart Plug etc.
