Introduction
AERINOS® is an autonomous, wireless data acquisition platform. It comprises battery powered, wireless sensor nodes, that offer reliable communication and outdoor enclosures to satisfy a variety of measurement and monitoring applications. The acquired sensor data wirelessly transmits to a data concentrator with 3G, GSM/GPRS connectivity, which forwards data files to an FTP server and alarm SMS to predefined users. The platform is available for different license free bands, as 433
MHz, 868 MHz and 915MHz.
