Sensor and Mesh Networks

People Responsible:

Kurt Bauman, SWITCH

Aim of this work item

Sensors are making their way into campus networks, bringing a range of new applications. However, there are also challenges such as the fact that sensors do not often have a lot of processing power and need to be energy efficient. This activity will look at the risks and challenges introduced by bringing nodes with less capacity onto the secure network, and automatic creation of ad-hoc and mesh networks to reach remote locations.
