ScenSor and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN)
A wireless sensor network consists of spatially distributed autonomous sensors to cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion or pollutants.
WSN are deployed in many industrial and civilian application areas, including industrial process monitoring and control, machine health monitoring, environment and habitat monitoring, healthcare applications, home automation, and traffic control and monitoring.
ScenSor resolves key issues in the application of WSN by its use of UWB technology:
- poor performance because of the inability of narrowband radio schemes to communicate reliably in highly reflective RF environments such as manufacturing plants (multipath fading issue);
- lifetime cost of ownership because high power consumption requires regular battery changes; ScenSor cuts down the power budget by enabling sensors to use 50 times less power in transmit-mode and 10 times less power in receive-mode than the best performing existing technologies.
In general, ScenSor’s unique product features can be applied as follows to the WSN market, thus offering unique advantages to firms utilising our standardised UWB technology:
