Atlas
The Atlas Sensor platform [1] consists of three layers that may be user specified depending on the application. The makeup of the layers consist of a dedicated communcications layer, a processing layer and an interface layer for connecting additional devices.
Hardware Specifications
| Sensing: |
With the use of the interface layer, the Atlas platform can connect up to:
|
|---|---|
| I/O: |
The Atlas interface layer provides up to:
|
| Radios: |
There is a choice of radio depending on the application:
A universal patch antenna is also supplied as an additional layer with each radio. |
| CPU: |
Amtel Atmega 128L
|
| Storage: |
Applications
Some typical Atlas applications include:
- Pervasive Computing
- Civil Structure Health Monitoring
- Remote Sensing and Data Acquisition
- Smart Homes and Smart Spaces
- Industrial Monitoring and Control
- Machine to Machine Communication (M2M)
- Fleet and Asset Tracking
- Healthcare
- Homeland Security
- Robotics
Power
The platform processing module contains data filtering and aggregation algorithims that minimize network traffic and increase the lifespan of the battery powered nodes. Nodes also contain an external power connecter and an extra connecter to daisy chain to another node allowing for a large wired network to run without taking up all the power outlets.
Software
Atlas is programmed via proprietry software - Atlasoft
