Wireless Sensor Networks
Please note that Crossbow no longer provides any of these offerings:
Crossbow was one of the first suppliers of the Berkeley-style MICA motes. These implement the TinyOS operating system. Follow on products include the MICA2 (868/916 MHz) and Micaz|MICAz (2.4 GHz) motes, and the Intel-designed IMOTE2. Crossbow also makes a software design platform for its hardware called MoteWorks.
Crossbow has received a number of awards for these products, including a "Best of Sensors Expo Gold 2006" and the BP Helios Award.
In 2008, Crossbow released eKo Pro Series System, a cost-effective wireless sensor system that monitors the health and vigor of crops, vineyard, agriculture and the environment. Built upon Crossbow's wireless sensor technology, eKo Pro collects your vital data which can be viewed from anywhere in the world via a simple internet browser. eKo's sensors can monitor soil moisture, ambient temperature, leaf wetness of your vineyard and crop. In the same year, Crossbow Japan released NeoMote System that monitors energy usage in a building and provides an enhanced visual display that allows for easy viewing of data collection enabling quick and intelligent decision making for smart energy saving.

Famous quotes containing the word networks:
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
