Assisted Living

• AlarmNet - Assisted living using WSNs (UVA)

Building Automation

• Here is an interesting whitepaper by Echelon Corporation regarding their evaluation of using RF technology for building automation. The basic conclusion of the paper is that RF is not ready for prime time. The paper was released in 2005.

Echelon recently completed a year-long investigation of these technologies, and our findings were very different than we expected. We expected to test high-performance, highly reliable twisted pair replacements, but found just the opposite: the new RF technologies offered very poor robustness against sources of interference, very limited distance operation, mediocre battery performance, and in one case, response times slower than sneaker net.
