The conference program will explore the opportunities, applications, execution and recent successful deployments of wireless sensor networking worldwide. A featured session during the two-day conference program will provide a case study describing how wireless sensor networking is being used to monitor the Space Shuttle space shuttle, reusable U.S. space vehicle. Developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), it consists of a winged orbiter, two solid-rocket boosters, and an external tank. . Presented by Joe Andrulis, VP Marketing, Director Wireless Solutions Group, RF Monolithics, this session will concentrate on the factors that drive key design decisions involving the selection and use of wireless radio technologies, network topologies and standards-based sensing architectures. In addition to exploring Space Shuttle sensing systems, the session will also include an in-depth look at other real-world applications, such as Automated Meter Reading and Bar Inventory Management. Several other successful wireless sensor see mote. deployments will be presented by industry leaders during the conference program, including case studies providing a detailed look at: --Wireless Fire Extinguishers --Wireless Petro-chemical Process Monitoring --Highway and Bridge Infrastructure Monitoring --Home Automation and Automated Meter Reading --Residential and Commercial Security --Residential Home Monitoring and Control The Wireless Sensing Solutions conference program features two days packed with useful and relevant sessions divided among three tracks: --The Technology Solutions Track focuses on how wireless sensing works and explores the benefits that it offers.
