Telos
Ultra low power IEEE 802.15.4 compliant wireless sensor module
Revision B : Humidity, Light, and Temperature sensors with USB
Product Description
Telos is an ultra low power wireless module
for use in sensor networks, monitoring
applications, and rapid application
prototyping. Telos leverages industry
standards like USB and IEEE 802.15.4 to
interoperate seamlessly with other devices.
By using industry standards, integrating
humidity, temperature, and light sensors,
and providing flexible interconnection with
peripherals, Telos enables a wide range of
mesh network applications. Telos Revision B is a drop-in replacement for Moteiv’s successful
Revision A design. Revision B includes increased performance, functionality, and expansion.
With TinyOS support out-of-the-box, Telos leverages emerging wireless protocols and the open
source software movement. Telos is part of a line of modules featuring on-board sensors to
increase robustness while decreasing cost and package size.
