| Future Networks
| | The next generation of networks will move beyond disconnected device-specific networks and systems and toward a distributed infrastructure, with intelligent functions residing across the entire network, from its edge to its core. |
| | Mixing Multiple Wireless Technologies
| | | With the variety of wireless technologies available, outfitting an industrial or commercial environment for wireless communications may involve mixing and matching technologies to find the optimal solution. Here are the issues to consider to make your mix a successful one. |

| Sensors and Privacy
| | | A survey of more than 700 IEEE Fellows, done by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in conjunction with the Institute for the Future, sought to learn what science and technology developments are most likely to take hold within the next 10 to 50 years. |
| | Build a DSSS Radio—Part 2
| | | Last month you got me started on building a direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) transceiver. You covered the transmitter discussion and promised to come back to explain the receiver and error-correction code. |
| | Investments Yield RFID Progress
| | | It's clear that developers see RFID-and-sensor networks as a key growth area. A sampling of recent developments in tags (sidebar) and infrastructure prove it. |

| Powering Tire Pressure Sensors
| | | In the interest of improved safety (and better gas mileage), tire pressure monitoring systems will soon be mandatory on cars. The challenge is how to power them. |
| | Power Management: Critical Choices for Wireless
| |
| | Optimal power management in a wireless sensor network is a balancing act of components and processes. Your challenge: Achieve the minimum energy use while meeting application requirements. |
| | Powering the Very Tiny
| | | Nanoscale devices present a megascale bear of a problem when it
comes to energy sources, especially when these devices are intended
for implantation in the body. |

| | | Embedded Web Services: Making Sense out of Diverse Sensors
| | | Integrating networks of sensors has been a goal for years, from the creation of device profiles and industrial networking standards through to the adoption of ad hoc wireless sensor and control networks. Web services promise to ease the integration of these disparate and distributed elements. |

| | LBS Incorporates Sensors
| | | Cell phone providers promote location-based services (LBS) as a way to send custom messages to subscribers based on their location—as reported by GPS or radiolocation and triangulation. Now LBSs are beginning to incorporate sensors. |
| | Tower of Babel Solution
| | | Invensys points out that industrial operations typically introduce wireless networking by experimenting with a point solution for one application, then another point solution?often based on a different protocol?to solve another problem, and so on. The result: a messy, non-interoperable system unwittingly created, often with the blessing of the IT department. |
