Click here to view list of Web Seminar offerings.

Description:

Wireless sensor networks allow stable system operation in facilities where the ambient RF and environmental conditions change. The fundamental underpinnings of a wireless sensor module are augmented by a discussion of networking techniques resulting in descriptions of various types of wireless sensor network topologies. An extensive review of 802.15.4-based wireless sensor networks culminates in specific examples of ZigBee, ISA100.11a and Wireless HART wireless sensor networks.
 

You will be able to:

  • Identify technology applicable for wireless sensor networks
  • Explain the fundamentals of networking
  • Describe how various radios support differing network topologies
  • Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of various wireless sensor network technologies
  • Define ZigBee, ISA100.11a and Wireless HART networks
  • Compare leading methodologies for commercially available sensors
  • Identify problems in industrial automation

You will cover:

  • Just the Wireless Basics:  Classic Wireless Sensor Design  | Frequencies |
  • Spread Spectrum Technologies (DSSS, FHSS) | Multiplexing Techniques
  • Wireless Communication Fundamentals: Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) layered model | Topologies | An 802.15.1 (Bluetooth) network | Network topologies supported by 802.15.4
  • Wireless Sensor Networks: ZigBee | ISA100.11a | Wireless HART

Who should attend:

  • Engineers and technologists interested in the role that wireless communications can play in field deployment of various types of sensors
  • Managers and entrepreneur decision-makers involved in computer networks, cellular telephony, and networking infrastructure.

Equipment and System Requirements:

  • Touch-tone telephone with a speakerphone for the audio portion of the live seminars
  • Internet connection running at 28.8 bps or faster
  • Java-enabled browser (Netscape Navigator 4.04 or later or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 or later)
  • Computer monitor large enough for all participants to view or projection system to project the presentation to larger audiences
