Testing a Commercial Sensor Platform for Wideband
Applications based on the 802.15.4 standard David
Guillén Jiménez and Franck Le Gall + Easy Global Market, 2000 Route des Lucioles, 06410 Biot, France {david.guillen, franck.le-gall}@eglobalmark.com Abstract Wireless
Sensor Networks are increasing their capacity to handle larger amounts of
data. These networks, which were born with the purpose of collecting
environmental information, could be also used for wideband applications, e.g.
transmitting audio and / or video data streams. The European project EAR-IT [1]
uses acoustic detection to make smarter cities. The idea is to make
large-scale deployments and use sounds to create innovative applications.
Current technology can be a limitation in terms of performance. This document
shows what parameters are relevant to be measured in a
802.15.4 Wireless Sensor Network to determine its suitability to wideband
transmission of multimedia streams. TST-Sistemas is
the commercial sensor platform chosen for the evaluation and qualification. Keywords: 802.15.4,
