| 2006 brings new technology jumps in hardware for sensor network nodes. Sun released their SUN SPOT system (image on the left). It uses a 32-bit processor and IEEE 802.15.4 compliant radio. See their June 2005 white paper for details. Intel Mote 2 is also a 32-bit sensor platform using the PXA271 INTEL XScale Processor and 802.15.4 radio. |
