		<description><![CDATA[The acquisition price of $18 million in cash by MEMSIC is not bad. For Crossbow is at least a success story when compared to some wireless motes companies, particularly those university spawned ones, that hoped to catch the WSN frenzy but folded along the way. Whether this is the exit strategy Crossbow had initially hoped [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As far as I am aware, off-the-shelf batteries are not designed for long lifetime use, in the order of years. Yet they are being used for long term deployment in WSN. I&#8217;ve seen theoretical projections of how long low power wireless motes can last. But there still seems to be an unknown quantity on the [...]]]></description>

But checking on their website myself, it seems that it costs much more to get a Sun SPOT development kit in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ZigBee modules are readily available nowadays. Assuming that they can all live up to their expectations, providing the network stack that allows wirelss sensor motes to be easily organised into a network fit for deployment, we will be seeing a host of software applications to be developed for wireless sensor networks this year. My concerns [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There was a short article in the October IET magazine about using a small ZigBee sensor the size of a hearing aid to collect and transmit data from the human body. I suspect that hearing-aid-size sensor, which is &#8220;inspired by the semicircular canals of the inner ear responsible for controlling motion and balance&#8221;, is probably [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I remember doing a research on wireless sensor motes on offer in the market some months ago. It was incredibly difficult to find out exactly what does it mean when vendors claim that their motes are ZigBee-compliant. As usual from marketing materials, they do not tell you clearly the specs. Even datasheets mention nothing about [...]]]></description>
