IEC White Paper IoT:WSN:2014

Internet of Things: Wireless Sensor Networks

Standard Details

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are generating increasing interest from industry and research. This is driven by the availability of inexpensive, low-powered miniature components such as processors, radios and sensors which are sometimes integrated on a single chip.

The idea of the Internet of Things (IoT) developed in parallel to WSNs. While IoT doesn’t assume a specific communication technology, wireless communication technologies will play a major role in the roll-out of the IoT. WSNs will drive many applications and many industries.

This IEC White Paper discusses the use and evolution of WSNs in the wider context of the IoT. It provides a review of WSN applications, infrastructures technologies, applications as well as standards that apply to WSN designs.

The development of this White Paper was led by the IEC MSB (Market Strategy Board) which brings together CTOs of leading international companies in cooperation with NIST (the US National Institute of Standards and Technology).

This IEC White Paper is available for free download.
