The Wireless Sensors Network (WSN) team is developing a range of ISM band wireless                                                                        sensing systems for deployment in the environment around us focusing on the key areas of the environment and fitness and health.

R&D is focussed on the use of these wireless sensing systems

• in the monitoring of energy consumption in the buildings
• wearable systems for the monitoring of movement and various physiological parameters
•  in the development of the hardware and software to enable these deployments such as the ISM band Radio technologies, the software to control the systems, and the energy harvesting technologies to enable long term deployments of these systems in autonomous operation.

 Wireless Sensor Networks Research

Specifically, the research focuses on the areas of:

• WSN Prototyping Platforms
  • Tyndall has extensive expertise in the areas of wireless sensor platforms and have developed our own Mote family [more]
• Wearable Systems
  • Research in wearable systems focuses on the areas of Localisation and Inertial Measurement Units
• RF System Design
  • Research focusing on Embedded Antenna design and Reconfigurable Antenna
• Sensor Design
  • High sensitivity magnetic field sensors
  • Ultra Low Power Magnetic and Current Sensors
• Low power Energy aware Systems
  • Low Power Systems
  • Energy Harvesting
  • Energy aware Protocols and embedded software
• WSN Application/Deployment Software

The Application Spaces that our hardware is deployed in focusses on the areas of

• Building Energy Management
• Environmental Monitoring
• Fitness and Health
