Crossbow actively supports academic programs in wireless and sensor technologies. Instructors in multiple departments are teaching various courses for wireless sensor technology based on Crossbow products.
Wireless sensor hardware and modules, in conjunction with the MoteWorks™ TinyOS based software platform, are ideal for the classroom. Classroom kits allow students to easily develop and build prototype sensor networks individually or in groups.
Crossbow’s IRIS, MICAz and MICA2 motes are the hardware platform of choice for a large number of wireless sensor network research papers published globally, as well as large-scale testbed deployments. The kit also provides access to in-depth teaching materials, based on Crossbow’s world-renowned training program, which is proven with thousands of Crossbow’s customers globally.
CLASSROOM KIT
A copy of Ivan Stojmenovic’s Handbook of Sensor Networks is included; it provides a broad coverage of WSN topics exploring various architectures and algorithms for applications, sensor training, security, and many other critical issues. This integrated approach of hardware, mesh networking software and
training materials allow educators to quickly develop and set up a comprehensive class and lab for leading edge wireless sensor network technology.
The classroom kits are beneficial for the typical teaching lab or sensor class project, getting students up and running quickly and economically.
Students will benefit from comprehensive hands-on training involving all aspects of both the hardware and software applications.
In addition to these standard kits, a variety of custom configurations are also available. Please contact Crossbow for additional details.
