in the world and integrates with data from many other sources automatically to provides real-time advanced visualization. This global InteleNet forms an integrated geo-repository of all relevant information for a particular region. At the same time, it provides wireless communication infrastructure for remote areas. The system can be used for a wide range of applications, including weather monitoring, water and air quality monitoring, biotelemetry, imagery and audio capture, field data collection, earthquake monitoring, buoy networks, tsunami warning, and emergency telemedicine and disaster response.

The Intelesense system was designed from the outset to be very open and expandable by our user community. The InteleCell hardware and firmware can be extended to support additional sensors or new features; the server can both import and export user data to facilitate advanced visualization and modeling research; and the visualizer is based on an open-source platform with a strong developer community. As the Intelesense community adds more and more features and enhancements, all users will benefit from the community’s combined efforts.

Intelesense Technologies makes it easy for anyone to deploy their own monitoring network by providing support for the majority of environmental sensors, providing custom firmware upgrades for new sensors, and allowing advanced users to customize and expand the system for their specific applications.
