WSN Development Kits
Product Features:
• Out-of-the-box, Starter Kit for Wireless Sensor Networks
• Packaged, Pre-programmed Wireless Sensor Nodes for Temperature, Humidity, Barometric Pressure and Ambient Light Monitoring
• FCC and CE Certified*
• Reliable Networking Software for Self- forming, Self-healing Mesh Networks (XMesh)
• Gateway for Connecting Wireless Sensor Network with PC or Internet
• Windows® Based User Interface for Visualization and Analysis of Network and Sensor Data
• Support for Different ISM Frequencies- 2.4 GHz, 802.15.4/ZigBee , 868/915MHz
The Crossbow Starter Kit provides an easy and cost-effective solution to get first-hand experience with wireless sensor networks
either in the 2.4 GHz or 868/916 MHz ISM bands.
This entry-level kit provides all the components needed for rapidly deploying a basic wireless sensor network. The sensor nodes and gateway are pre-configured with Crossbow’s reliable, self-forming, self-healing mesh networking software (XMesh).
The MoteView application for Windows-based PCs provides an intuitive graphical user interface to monitor and manage the wireless sensor network. By displaying network topologies, charts and graphs of sensor readings, as well as configuring sensor nodes, MoteView lets the user understand the sensor data and network while allowing easy configuration of sensor nodes.
MoteWorks™
The development of custom sensor applications is enabled through Crossbow’s MoteWorks™ software platform, which is available as an option with the kit. MoteWorks™ is specifically optimized for low-power battery-operated networks and provides support for:
• Sensor Devices: Network stack and operating system, standards support (802.15.4), over-the- air-programming and cross development tools.
• Server Gateways: Middleware for connecting wireless sensor networks to enterprise information and management systems.
• User Interface: Client application for remote analysis and monitoring, management and configuration of the sensor network.
