Great technology to keep on top of. -KFThe Berkeley, Calif.-based start-up started on Monday to sell SmartMesh, a low-power wireless networking system for linking sensors inside a building or a factory to a central computer system. Advocates say these networks will expand how computers get used because they will let people get access to data that is hard or expensive to obtain right now. Early experiments with wireless sensors, for instance, have permitted scientists to study animals in their natural habitat and monitor the movement of tectonic plates under the ocean. Defense agencies are looking at using wireless sensors to monitor troop movements, while oil companies believe the technology could replace the expensive wired sensor systems currently in place.
