When most people hear the word "wireless" they think of cellular phones. Truth is wireless technology reaches far beyond the telecommunications industry. Into yours!
Active Wireless Sensor Technology or AWS uses a Sensor Unit (SU) that measures parameters such as temperature, humidity and vibration. It is the SU that captures the current data, in a microcontroller-based embedded system. Then uses a radio-based transceiver module to control output of the data collected.
As mentioned, the Active Wireless Sensor (AWS) system works in environments where standard technology may not be suitable. Also unlike standard technology, Active Wireless Sensor (AWS) enables open source exchange of data to web based or PC based applications. Data can be instantly converted to accommodate a wide range of formats.
The data goes through a Sensor Communications Interface (SCI) that is compatible with Ethernet protocols.
