- AbstractIn this paper we present the design and developmentof an industrial grade wireless base station for industrialmonitoring and control using wireless sensor networks. Thispaper highlights the need for a base station for wireless sensornetworks, the challenges in deploying in industrialenvironments, the requirements of the base station inaddressing those challenges and the design of an industrialgrade wireless base station. Although a wireless sensor node isefficient enough to act as a base station in a wireless sensornetwork their processing power and communicationcapabilities are limited since they are designed to work at verylow power. A large scale wireless sensor network usuallyconsists of thousands of motes which have low-memory, lowprocessing power, and limited communication capacity. Tocollaboratively monitor environment and obtain globalinformation, centralized data processing by Base Station isnecessary. A Base Station is a powerful device which has muchhigher processing power, more memory and much highercommunication capabilities. The Industrial Wireless BaseStation (iWase) built around the powerful AT91SAM9XE512controller has higher processing power and supports Ethernet(wired) and GSM/GPRS (wireless) communication in additionto IEEE 802.15.4 radio communication with sensor nodes.iWase is provided with an ingress protection of IP65, whichfacilitates operation in harsh outdoor environments. iWase alsoprovides excellent operation in the industrial environment withan operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C.
