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:
“To be perfectly, brutally honest, those of us who are still carrying diaper everywhere we go are not at our most scintillating time of life....We need to remember that at one time in our lives, we all had senses of humor and knew things that were going on in the world. And if we just keep our social networks open, there will be people ready to listen when we once again have intelligent things to say.”
—Louise Lague (20th century)
