A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a system designed to remotely monitor and control a specific phenomenon or event. This new 2-page fact sheet discusses the advantages that the WSN has over traditional stand-alone sensors and controllers, power consumption and conservation, and WSN technologies.

Reading System

In view of the current status and shortcomings of existing meter reading systems, in this paper, we proposed an automatic gas meter reading system based on the advantages of gas meter directly reading technology, WSN technology and GPRS technology, introduced the whole scheme and the design of hardware and software in detail. The system is consist of three level network. The first level network and the second level network use the different frequency during communication. It decreases the interface of each other during the translation of the data, and increase the lifetime of the smart gas meter. The system has the advantages of easy construct, flexible layout, lower power consumption
