Abstract :
Using wireless sensor networks is an effective way of gathering data and also opens up new sensing opportunities. Wireless sensor networks can be more useful if the data can be effectively retrieved from the sensor network. This paper describes the development of a gateway node for a wireless sensor network, implemented in TinyOS, using the AT91RM9200 ARM evaluation kit from Atmel. This node enables the user to remotely retrieve data from-, manage- and configure the network.
