Summary:
This 4-day course is designed for remote sensing engineers, process control architects, security system engineers, instrumentation designers, ISR developers, and program managers who wish to enhance their understand¬ing of ad hoc wireless sensor networks (WSN) and how to design, develop, and implement these netted sensors to solve a myriad of applications including: smart building installation, process control, asset tracking, military operations and C4I applications, as well as energy monitoring. The concept of low-cost sensors, structured into a large network to provide extreme fidelity with an extensive capability over a large-scale system is described in detail using technologies derived from robust radio-stacked microcontrollers, cellular logic, SOA-based systems, and adroit insertion of adaptive, and changeable, middleware.
Instructor:
What You Will Learn:
- What can robust, ad hoc wireless sensing provide beyond that of conventional sensor systems?
- How can low-cost sensors perform on par with expensive sensors?
- What is required to achieve comprehensive monitoring?
- Why is multi-hopping “crucial” to permit effective systems?
- What ‘s required from the power management systems?
- What are WSN characteristics?
- What do effective WSN systems cost?
From this course you will obtain knowledge and ability to perform wireless sensor networking design & engineering calculations, identify tradeoffs, interact meaningfully with ISR, security colleagues, evaluate systems, and understand the literature.
