You've Got Dust... Networks

from the there-we-go dept

For quite some time, we've been hearing various stories about "smart dust" with most of the talk coming from Dust Networks. After all this time, they've finally launched a product. It's clearly nowhere near the "smart dust" level yet, but looks to be a wireless mesh networking technology for letting a variety of sensors communicate easily, without killing batteries too quickly. Still, it's a big step forward for the space, meaning we should expect plenty of gushing news stories about the technology in the near future.

    The Wall Street Journal (paid registration needed) wrote yesterday that you can buy an evaluation kit from Dust Networks. The kit, including 12 motes, will cost you $4,950. Read my blog for an illustration of the SmartMesh concept.
