Crossbow Technology is the leading end-to-end solutions supplier in wireless sensor networks and the largest manufacturer of Smart Dust wireless sensors. Crossbow has deployed wireless sensors networks for large-scale commercial use, and Crossbow is currently supplying its Smart Dust products and services to several Fortune 100 companies. Crossbow's wireless sensor networking platform enables powerful, wireless, and automated data collection and monitoring systems.
MOTES / RADIOS The hardware platform consists of Processor/Radio boards (MPR) commonly referred to as Motes. These battery-powered devices run Crossbow's XMesh self-forming, micro-power, networking stack. In addition to running the XMesh networking stack, each Mote runs the open-source TinyOS operating system which provides low-level event and task management.
SENSORS Sensor and data acquisition cards (MTS and MDA) mate directly to the Mote Processor Radio boards. The industry's widest range of sensor support includes both direct sensing as well as interfaces for external sensors.
GATEWAYS The Stargate 'Gateway' and the Mote Interface Boards (MIB), allow developers to interface Motes to PCs, PDAs, the WWW, and existing wired/wireless networks and protocols.
CUSTOMIZATION The TinyOS operating system is open-source, extendable, and scalable. Code modules are wired together allowing fluent-C programmers to rapidly customize existing applications written and distributed by Crossbow Technology
SOFTWARE PLATFORMS MoteWorks is the end-to-end enabling platform for the creation of wireless sensor networks. The optimized processor/radio hardware, industry-leading mesh networking software, gateway server middleware and client monitoring and management tools support the creation of reliable, easy-to-use wireless OEM solutions. OEMs are freed from the detailed complexities of designing wireless hardware and software enabling them to focus on adding unique differentiation to their applications while bringing innovative solutions to market quickly.
