description

Every sensor node in a wireless sensor network (WSN) has a microcontroller, a transmitter/receiver and a sensor. It is able to acquire data from specific point in a real environment and transmit it through the WSN. Sometimes it is useful to gather different type of data from the same place in order to obtain a final result. In the related literature, very few works are about sensing different parameters using a unique sensor. In this paper we propose a Wireless IP multisensor that is able to gather several types of data from the environment and transmit the result of their combination. Our proposal decision has being mainly based on its development costs, its expansion capacity and its flexibility to add more features to the sensor node. We will show all the characteristics of our proposal and its application areas. A comparison with other wireless IP sensors will be also provided.
