Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are being employed frequently to
gather data from an ever-increasing variety of environments and phenomena.
\iVSNs offers users in the industrial and academic community
a low power, unobtrusive, adaptable and wireless alternative to traditional
sensing equipment. This study focuses on the development of
a configurable, low power and cost-effective gateway that will link a
WSN to the Internet. In addition, the gateway provides onsite storage
for the data collected by the WSN which may be uploaded at a
scheduled time to a computer at a specified Internet address through a
GSM or Ethernet link. Furthermore, the gateway provides a suitable
platform capable of executing a variety of multitasking operating systems
such as Windows Embedded CE or Linux. This multi-platform
support permits the gateway the flexibility, through custom user applications,
to adapt its functionality to the requirements of a WSN
elm I the environments into which these networks may be deployed.
This study has been successful in the design and development of a
low-cost gateway solution, allel has produced a functional prototype
