Although a relatively young technology, the potential of
Wireless Sensor Networks is encouraging intense research
focus.

Future systems are likely to require both small nodes and a high density
of deployment, making efficiency and adaptability crucial to further
development,
says Professor Anders Rydberg.
 To work Successfully

Wireless sensors need to be..

Numerous innovative
INTELLIGENT integrated antena designs
have been presented as per
their uses and specifications.

Capable of operating in
Harsh conditions SIZE DOES MATTER
As sensors become smaller
Low Power the area available for the
consumption antenna is reduced.
 Agricultural Scenario
Most promising application area for WSN due to the necessity of proving the agricultural
production chain in terms of precision and quality.

Precision Farming System has

following parts :

 Sensing agriculture parameters.

Identification of sensing locations and
data gathering.
Transfer data from crop field to control
station for decision making.
Actuation and control decision based
on sensed data.
What WE can use.

Soil Moisture sensor:

Watermark Sensor:

And so many….
 Environment Concern
Growing concern worldwide for
air pollution,biological threats
and security issues has led to an
increasing demand for sensors in
multiple application areas, thus
calling for a fast development of
small, reliable, inexpensive
sensors which can be easily
integrated in various devices andResearch efforts worldwide span
equipments. diverse areas, including new materials
such as nanotubes and nanofibers,
miniaturization of electronics through
nanotechnology, or integration of several
sensors in artificial noses.
Available instruments to sense :

1. Dissolved gases meter (CO2, O2 etc.)

2. Humidity measurement instruments.
3. Groundwater monitoring equipment.
4. Oil sensors and analyzer.
5. Radiation detectors.
6. Water quality testing instruments.

BUT Still….
 What CAN be done!

“Sense the changes in Environment and using those data to

interpret the conditions and problems prior.”

“Checking the sources and elements regularly to maintain those

as per standards.”

TO See this and go deeper.

Change in ICE level of HIMALAYA affects whole INDIA.
Imbalance in one chemical changes others itself.
Weather and Climate is connected globally as well as locally.
 All of these involves a careful system design, since
requirements are very strict. battery life-time
maximization, robustness, recovery strategies, network
flexibility and reconfigurability.

Hope Continues as said for Wireless Sensor

Network.

"Very complete and insightful"
