sensor networking is critical for broad and immediate access to sensory information. The technology removes the physical boundaries that shackle instruments, bringing sensing to places and things previously unobservable and creating networks to make that information readily accessible. Equally important are leading-edge Internet and Web technologies, which provide an architecture for highly scalable networks and efficient integration of diverse information sources. It pioneers the research and development of wireless sensor networking and its integration into enterprise data management. Their combination of real-world know-how, technical expertise, and visionary insight drives our mission to expand the Internet with awareness of the physical world of matter, space, and time.
