NIST Wireless Sensor Working Group Formed

The field of wireless sensing has recently received a great deal of attention, promising the ability to monitor the environment, facilities, and machines in an easier and more affordable manner than is possible with conventionally wired sensors. Researchers across NIST are carrying out vital work in this emerging technological area by examining the fundamental physics that are involved in transmitting signals, by exploring new application areas for wireless sensors, by developing efficient means of transmitting messages through networks, and by developing standards to ease their use. To bring together people around NIST that have an interest in developing various facets of the field, the Wireless Sensor Working Group has formed as a means to share information and encourage collaboration among researchers and users of wireless sensor technology. A listing of projects currently under way at NIST is provided at the group’s Web site, http://bfrl.nist.gov/WirelessSensor/index.htm.
