Detecting Forest Fires using Wireless Sensor Networks with Waspmote

The first real deployment of a Wireless Sensor Network in order to detect forest fires has been performed in Asturias (North of Spain). The system uses Waspmote along with CO, CO2, humidity and temperature sensors included in the Gas Sensor board. 40 nodes were deployed in 2009 and 50 more will be installed in 2010. The article includes a video of the installation recorded by the local TV.

Sensor Interface

April 13,2010

The WiSI wireless sensor interface from Rugid Computer Inc., Olympia, WA, is a wireless, self-powered device that combines a radio and DA and control and is designed for rapid deployment to monitor and control remote sensors. There are three low-power models: one with an integrated solar panel and maintenance-free energy storage that can communicate for up to 1 week without sunlight; the other two run from an external 12 VDC power source. The WiSI comes standard with a 2.4 GHz radio, antenna or RP-SMA connector, 4 analog inputs, 4 digital inputs, 4 digital outputs, and 5 and 18 VDC instrument supplies that can source up to 25 mA for powering several sensors or a 4–20 mA loop. Standard features include a 0.25µA supply for powering RTDs and an RS-232 port.Wireless Sensor Interface from Rugid ComputerRugid Computer Inc. April 4, 2010

Wireless sensor tags create an `instrumentation cloud`

April 13th, 2010

A US company has developed a wireless sensor card that introduces a new concept for performing measurement and analysis, known as the “instrumentation cloud”. Cores Electronic’s Tag4M WiFi sensor tag no longer relies on software running on a specific PC. Instead, it transmits data the Internet and uses Web pages as “instruments” that can be accessed by any device that that can surf the Web, including mobile phones.

According to Cores’ president, Marius Ghercioiu, the tag “heralds a new way of collecting real-world data where we are throwing off the chains that bind us to specific hardware and software. Most wireless sensor units currently on the market are designed to work in local mode with a computer running a specific software application. In contrast, we designed the Tag4M to interface with a Web page, which can be hosted on any Web-enabled hardware, whether in your pocket or across the country.

SENSEAPP 2010

The the fourth edition of the workshop is to be held on 11-14th October 2010 in Denver, Colorado, after successful previous editions.

SenseApp 2010, the Fifth IEEE International Workshop on Practical Issues in Building Sensor Network Applications, will be a one-day workshop, held in conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Local Comupter Networks (LCN 2010). The workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general.
