    Wisenet: Wireless Sensor Network

    Uploaded by

    Amy Kapoor
    The document summarizes the WISENET wireless sensor network project. The project aims to create a low-power wireless sensor network using commercial off-the-shelf components for monitoring temperature, humidity, and light in an office environment. The network uses battery-powered wireless sensor nodes called "motes" running the TinyOS operating system. The motes form self-organizing ad-hoc networks to communicate sensor data to a server running WiseDB and PHP software, which displays the data through a web interface. While the network is partially operational, further work is needed to expand the network and test multi-hop routing between motes.
