Wireless Sensor Technology

Wireless sensor technology is one of the fastest growing industries in the industrial and commercial market. With thousands of deployments currently underway, and more planned daily, wireless sensor networks are becoming more established in both industrial and commercial applications across the board, including street light monitoring, AMI/AMR, and Industrial Sensing.

One of the biggest impacts on wireless sensor technology in the recent years has been the development of wireless standards, creating interoperability and standardization across a network, the most prevalent of these standards being ISA100.11a, WirelessHART, and 6LoWPAN. These standards are based on a full mesh networking system. Only mesh networking with frequency hopping and time synchronization can provide the required installation flexibility, network scalability, power consumption, and data reliability, can provide the reliability and security needed in a wireless sensor network.

With increasing attention to reliability, security, and battery life, Nivis continues to work through wireless standards and products to improve the overall impact of wireless sensor technology, leading to increased productivity and efficiency for the entire industry.
