Bluetooth-Wireless technology providing link between mobile and electronic devices. It operates
on 2.45 GHz radio signals using frequency hopping spread spectrum. Technology of Bluetooth
concentrates on short range of communication.
Definition
Wireless sensor networks are networks of small computers, fitted with sensors, microprocessors,
and wireless interfaces. This technology has achieved a lot of attention lately. These networks
are suggested for the wide range of modern and fascinating applications, from personal health
care to environmental monitoring and military applications. Different wireless technologies, such
as simple RF, Bluetooth, UWB or infrared, may be used to communicate between sensors. The
core concepts, features, and problems of Bluetooth-based wireless sensor networks are outlined
in this, as well as the execution of a simple Bluetooth-based sensor network. The presentation of
the main problems experienced during the implementation and applied solutions is also done.
This is specified on the smart sensor networks using the Bluetooth topology. How smart sensor
networks are used and can be implemented using the Bluetooth technology. How they are used
as the purpose of communication in industrial field, how they are built, their working and
concept are reviewed. Architecture, network, applications, and working have been reviewed for
the communication and research purpose.

Applications
Wireless sensor networks may comprise numerous different types of sensors like low sampling
rate, seismic, magnetic, thermal, visual, infrared, radar, and acoustic, which are clever to monitor
a wide range of ambient situations. Sensor nodes are used for constant sensing, event ID, event
detection & local control of actuators. The applications of wireless sensor networks mainly
include health, military, environmental, home, & other commercial areas.

Wireless Technology
Reasonable throughput
Disadvantages
As it is wireless in nature, it is prone to hacking by hackers.
There are various challenges to be considered in WSN such as energy efficiency, limited
bandwidth, node costs, deployment model, and Software/hardware design constraints and
so on.
In star topology based WSN, failure of central node leads to whole network shutdown.
