Background
The SensorPlanet project builds an open global mobile device centric research platform for wireless sensor network research, akin to somewhat analogous platform for backbone network services called PlanetLabs.
The distributed platform will provide the necessary infrastructure for world's top research labs to perform innovative research on wireless sensor networks, where the mobile devices can be seen both as gateways to the mesh sensor networks and also as sensor nodes themselves.
This open innovation initiative will allow Nokia to collaborate with the best teams in the field around the world, and direct the academic Wireless Sensor Network research globally towards a mobile device centric innovation.
Research Challenges
How to make the high-volume sensor data useful?
