We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Wireless Sensor",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Processingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Wireless sensor network monitors data centre from
Adaptive Wireless Solutions, which we summarised at the time by saying "Adaptive Wireless Solutions has project-managed the installation and commissioning of a large Sensicast wireless mesh sensor network in a very large data centre for a Gulf
States oil company".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Wireless sensors link to Hospital Ethernet system from
Adaptive Wireless Solutions: "Adaptive Wireless Solutions have supplied a wireless sensor network as part of a multi-area pharmacy clean room, stores and packing area compliance monitoring solution for a major London NHS hospital".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Dust Networks
concerning its Research Innovation Programme
- take a look at R+D Kit and online support for wireless sensors
which says: "Dust Networks launches a 'Research Innovation Programme', with a research and development kit plus on-line support community to foster innovation in wireless sensor networking".
Take a look also at the news release from Sensicast Systems, Sensicast networks manage solar powered building,
as well as easyFairs Maintec 2008 to be the best yet! from easyFairs UK,
and Keeping all those Data Centres on-line from Adaptive Wireless Solutions.
