All pull together!
Wireless technology is having a profound impact on the embedded systems market. Low cost, low power, easy to implement, large scale wireless sensor networks are enabling innovative applications, as well as significant improvements in existing systems.
Generating the most interest and potential are wireless sensor networks that can assemble and reconfigure themselves. Consider a wireless sensor network that can run without a human administrator that will reconfigure itself automatically if nodes on the network fail. It might comprise tens of thousands of nodes spread over a huge area, yet will operate for years with minimal maintenance. Or consider an ad hoc network that builds or reconfigures itself, as required, from any suitable devices in range or which move into range.
