Usage Scenarios

• Stick-On Sensor Network
• Monitoring
• Diagnostic
• Control
• Wireless Hub for a network of sensors
• Sensor parameters programming (IEEE 1451)
• Diagnostic/Monitoring

7
Our Applications do NOT require

• High data Rates (more than 20kbps)
• High duty cycle or quick response time
• High Level of security
• Connection handling Hand-off
• Real-Time Operation
• Long range (30 ft is more than enough)

8
Our Applications DO require

• Very Low Power Consumption
• Disposable wireless sensors
• Should last at least five years for automotive
  applications and from a few months to 10 years in
  Industrial applications
• Low Cost
• Automotive applications
• Robustness to handle industrial/vehicular
  environments
• Temperature, vibration, humidity, etc
