Abstract :
In the past 10 years, wireless sensor networks have grown from a theoretical concept to a burgeoning modern technology. In this paper, we present a comparative review of several wireless sensor network motes. We analyze these WSN devices under a number of different parameters and criteria, including processing ability, expected lifetime and measurement capabilities. We compare and contrast the selected WSN motes under these different headings, highlighting the individual mote´s performance under each category.
