The Sciencfic Leader

The Wireless Sensor Networks are nowadays widely considered as a one of the most important technologies for the twenty-first century [1]. Over recent years, the WSN and their applications were under the focus of both academia and industry all over the world. Nowadays, the WSN are widely used in various applications areas, including but not limiting to: health care and medicine [2,3,4]; home or office automation [5,6]; industry [7,8]; road traffic control [9,10]; farming and forestry [11,12]; civil infrastructure monitoring [13,14]; disaster detection and alarm systems [15]. Each of these areas has specific environment and certain application requirements for the WSN. We are presenting the results and lessons learned during evaluating WSN in the real-life industrial environment and two industrial WSN applications development and deployment that have been done within the RealFusion project. 1. Introduction Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are gaining the ground in all sectors of l...
