CROSSBOW WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK KIT FULL

Several I/O and sensor interfaces on the board allow the development and integration of sensor boards that leverage the full capabilities of the Imote2, making it a versatile and flexible platform for a broad range of applications, including imaging, acoustics, seismic and vibration based signal processing. A product like the Imote2 could perform complete machine analytics by itself, while using its wireless sensor network strictly for reporting the results of its analysis.' 'One example of such an application in manufacturing is machine condition monitoring. 'Next generation modules for the wireless sensor market like the Imote2 will be especially important for applications where a high performance sensor node must be combined with low-power operation and a low duty cycle to achieve long life,' said Harry Forbes, Senior Analyst, ARC Advisory Group. Power consumption is extremely low making this platform ideally suited for demanding but battery powered applications. The 256KB of on-chip SRAM, 32 MB of SDRAM and 32MB of FLASH memory provide several orders of magnitude more resources for memory intensive applications than previous WSN hardware platforms. The PXA271 processor on the Imote2 can be configured to support a low voltage (0.85V), low frequency (13 MHz) mode as well as other scalable processing modes of up to 416 MHz. Integrating a high performance, low power, PXA271 Intel XScale(R) processor and a 802.15.4 radio with a built in 2.4 GHz antenna, the Imote2 provides a high performance platform for advanced, compute intensive wireless sensor network applications such as digital imaging and industrial vibration monitoring.
