SANTA
BARBARA, Calif., April 25, 2006 – Claiming
to offer the modern replacement for the venerable strip-chart
recorder, Accsense
recently introduced a wireless-sensor system that measures a wide
range of physical properties and delivers real-time data to any
Web-enabled device. The company based the system on wireless-sensor
Pods that measure ambient temperature, humidity, light, noise, and
vibration and automatically form a secure, self-healing wireless-mesh
network with a range as long as 4000 ft. Accsense sensor Pods are
compatible with a range of standard external plug-in sensors and
probes, including
thermocouples, resistance-temperature detectors, and thermistors.
A
complete Accsense system includes as many as 16 wireless-sensor Pods,
a Pod Gateway for connecting the sensor network to the Internet, and
an online account for monitoring, storing, and analyzing data. Sensor
Pods range in price from $295 to $635, depending on the combination
of measurements and number of inputs. The Pod Gateway sells for $795
and supports as many as 16 pods. The Accsense-hosted online service
is available through a monthly subscription. The Standard Account is
free and enables users to monitor their data online and download it
for deeper analysis. At $24.95 per month, the Premium Account offers
additionaFacilityl features, such as analytical charting and alarms
that send alerts to cell phones, pagers, and e-mail if measurements
fall out of range.
