Abstract :
Availability of low cost and high efficiency sensors and of both wired and wireless transmission networks discloses new opportunities in the field of distributed and collaborative networks devoted to system and environmental monitoring. In the paper such a new architecture is presented which employs smart sensors connected to the transmission infrastructure through TCP/IP protocol aimed at providing a real-time, multi-sensor and multi-purpose network. Preliminary results about the monitoring campaign of the environmental electromagnetic field over the range 100 kHz to 3 GHz are shown together with the evaluation of the statistical distribution of both sampled and rms values
