List of wireless sensor nodes

There are two kinds of sensor nodes used in the sensor network. One is the normal sensor node deployed to sense the phenomena and the other is gateway node that interfaces sensor network to the external world.

An overview of commonly used sensor network platforms, components, technology and related topics is available in the SNM - Sensor Network Museumtm as well as[1],[2], and[3].
