More standardisation for WSN
More standardisation activities, this time to set sensor net standard for process control. Having a big say on how wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can be used in a practical way at the moment, several industries from the automation and control sectors are trying to muscle in their own standards for WSNs. Notably the 30,000-member ISA trade group which focuses on factory automation.
On the other hand there are industries from the PC data side that try to extend Internet Protocol (IP) to WSNs. For example IETF’s Routing over Low-power and Lossy Networks (Roll) group which is pursuing a standard way for control and sensor nodes on Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 802.15.4 nets to link to the broader Internet, interestingly backed by Cisco Systems.
