Product Description
Low-power wireless sensor networks that utilize protocols like ZigBee are one of
the most intriguing
technologies emerging in the industrial process control
field because these networks allow organizations to
put computing power in
locations that previously would have been cost-prohibitive.
Because these new sensor nodes are inexpensive, as small as a quarter, and
miserly in their power usage
(many lasting two years or more on a single
battery), they are a natural match for industrial settings whose
buildings and
machines have many nooks and crannies that cannot accommodate traditional wired
sensors.
