Enabling Global SEnsor Networks for SurvEillance Systems : GloSENSES


  1. Puce    A Wireless Sensor Network Testbed for Environmental Surveillance


The testbed consists in WaspMote from Libelium. The main hardware characteristics of WaspMote board are summarized here.


The choice of WaspMote from Libelium was driven by these key features:


  1. PuceAvailability of many types of sensor board, see a list here

  2. PuceAvailability of adapted alternative power source: solar panels

  3. PuceAvailability of advanced interconnection gateways: Meshlium that provides in the same Linux-based box WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee/802.15.4, GPRS interfaces

  4. PuceIntegrated IDE and easy programming of the board in C++, see sample code here

  5. PuceEasy database functionalities, embedded in the Meshlium

  6. PuceClear documentation


Our testbed currently consists in:


  1. Puce5 WaspMote, 802.15.4 SMA 5dBi antenna (1mW, range of 500m)

  2. Puce5 1150mAh battery

  3. Puce5 GPS modules

  4. Puce2 Waspmote Gateway 802.15.4 SMA 5dBi

  5. Puce1 GPRS module

  6. Puce3 gas boards

  7. Puce2 event boards

  8. Puce3 flexible solar panels 7.2V - 100mA

  9. Puce2 rigid solar panels 12V - 200mA

  10. Puce1 Meshlium WiFi, ZigBee/802.15.4, GPRS, Bluetooth gateway

  11. Puce2 temperature sensors

  12. Puce2 humidity sensors

  13. Puce2 luminosity (LDR) sensors

  14. Puce2 motion (PIR) sensors

  15. Puce1 air pollution I sensor

  16. Puce1 air pollution II sensor

  17. Puce1 vibration, 1 tilt & acceleration and 1 shock/impact sensor
