Wireless Sensor Network for Underwater Communication
About the presentation Although, attenuation in Electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation underwater is high at high frequencies, the theory predicts that propagation is possible at some useful distance in the lower Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band.The aim of this paper…
Connect or Die: Can M2M save the world?
About the presentation Iain will explore some Machine 2 Machine (M2M) applications which could help improve quality of life as well as saving time, energy and money. “Networks” will be key to making it happen, in more ways than you…

Wireless Sensor Networks: Technology and Applications
Wireless sensor network encompasses the characteristics of authentication, privacy, integrity, non-repudiation, and anti-play back. The greater the dependency of information sent or received in the network, the greater the security risks. Various security issues have been considered in ad hoc…
Internet Of Things: The Bridge To Delay Tolerant Networks
The term Internet of Things was first used by Kevin Ashton in 1999. The concept of the Internet of Things first became popular through the Auto-ID Center and related market analysts publications. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is often seen as a…
Dennis Hong: My seven species of robot
Dennis Hong introduces seven award-winning, all-terrain robots — like the humanoid, soccer-playing DARwIn and the cliff-gripping CLIMBeR — all built by his team at RoMeLa, Virginia Tech. Watch to the end to hear the five creative secrets to his lab’s…
Remote Sensing and Satellite
Communication that involves the use of an active or passive satellite to extend the range of a communications, radio, television, or other transmitter by returning signals to earth from an orbiting satellite. For example, researchers like Prof Gorry Fairhurst of…
Applications of Energy Harvesting
The rapid growth in the field of wireless sensor networks has highlighted the issue of powering remote sensor nodes. The requirement to change batteries, or recharge other power sources, places an unwanted additional maintenance and cost burden on such wireless…
