Demo: WSN testbed for lighting control and environmental monitoring
NEWCOM++ / COST 2100 Joint Workshop on Wireless Communications

This paper introduces a new outdoor testbed for wireless sensor networks (WSN) which gathers data from the environment. The testbed currently consists of 25 sensor nodes attached to public light poles that control the LED lights and measure temperature, humidity, pressure, luminance and battery voltage. The demonstration represents a scaled-down testbed focusing on two out of the three functional blocks of such a testbed: the network of sensors and the middleware. The testbed and the demonstration are based on Versatile Sensor Node (VSN) which is a fully modular WSN platform featuring a custom power supply solution for the constraints of the environment. The data is gathered, processed, stored and exposed by the middleware which is designed to separate meta-data from the data in order to allow efficient use of semantic and data mining technologies.
