Low-power wireless intelligent sensor technology
Two companies combine their specialties in a NASA-sponsored project to produce low-power wireless intelligent sensor technology capable of delivering remote fingerprint authentication, intrusion detection, light, temperature, and vibration sensors over satellite communication
Santa Barbara, California-based MachineTalker (OTCBB: MTKN), a specialist in smart wireless security networks, and Maitland, Florida-based Theseus Logic, a developer of low-power mixed signal ASICs, have successfully demonstrated the first phase of a NASA-sponsored sensor system which will merge the wireless intelligent sensor technology from MachineTalker with a low-powered wireless enabled microcontroller designed by Theseus Logic.
Phase I of this NASA SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) funded contract consisted of a MachineTalker wireless sensor network with remote fingerprint authentication, intrusion detection, light, temperature, and vibration sensors — all actively delivering information over satellite communication links using capabilities provided by Theseus Logic’s miniaturized wireless sensor node. These trials were able to send information from the various sensor units and execute commands to make necessary adjustments to the status of the system. The demonstration included all the key features of ad hoc wireless sensor systems required for unattended operation in remote locations.
