In order to monitor the environment and transmit the data to the relevant researchers a variety of technologies are used including:
- Low power sensor network nodes
- IPv6 – Internet protocol
- 6LoWPAN – low power Internet protocol
- CC1120 – AT86RF212B radio transceivers
- Riot-OS and Contiki OS – software on the sensor nodes
- CoAP – constrained application protocol
- Protocol Buffers – an efficient way to send/store binary data
- Web technology – linking everything to the Web
- Other useful equipment – what antennas we used etc
