" Crossbow's Wireless
Sensor Network Technology"
Alan Broad, Chief Engineer,
Crossbow
Technologies, Smarter Sensors in Silicon
Crossbow is developing
tiny MEMS based sensors that easily deployed into large networks.
Wireless sensor networks solve two key challenges in supervisory
and control systems: time-to-instrumentation and cost-of-instrumentation.
A user with a laptop, PDA, or Internet connectivity can instantaneously
gather wireless signals from dozens, even hundreds of sensors
arrayed in a building, on a machine or in the field.
"Light
VoIP core engines for wireless devices", by Lars
Stenstedt, VP BusDev VLI.
Available wireless services
and devices support not only data, but also voice. An example
is GPhone, a Windows® CE based PDA developed by Palm employing
communications software developed by VL Inc. -- a small,
light core engine that now brings high speed and high quality
voice communications with advanced VoIP technology. VLI's
VP BusDev Lars Stenstedt discusses VoIP and messaging technologies,
the markets they address, and the business that brings them
there.
