| Current technology has skimmed the surface of this requirement. With the advent of wireless transmissions came the advent of wireless security. The next step in many programs was to incorporate sensor technology into wireless platforms. Many sensor technology platforms, even those for use in government applications utilized the 900 Mhz space and did not offer a reliable means of security. The 900 Mhz space also limited transmission range to less than one mile. Additional wireless technologies have been introduced |
 |
| into the government and the Department of Defense with a high degree of reliability and security. 802.11 b/g for example is in use today. The US Army has developed a program which supplies secure 802.11b devices in a meshed environment called Combat Service Support Automated Information Systems Interface (CAISI), which is currently deployed and approved for use in the Army having gone through the Test and Integration Center and other requirements. The solutions meets NIST FIPS 140-2 requirements and utilizes a secure encryption method know as AES 256-Bit. The specific algorithm utilized is approved for NIST FIPS 140-2 by the National Security Agency (NSA). |
Pilgrim Technology sensor nodes are self powered and rugged to withstand low and high temperature operating
environments and equipped with radio technology that will meet the range requirements of large acreage (which
are to be determined given terrain and location of devices). Radio technologies that can be used are 802.16,
802.15, 802.11, GPS and Ultra-Wide Band. Through a related effort Pilgrim Technology LLC and other business
partners have produced a mobile radio sensor node. Much of the lessons learned from this experience were
applied to this effort. The technology specifically being designed to operate in high temperature and being
able to withstand a high degree of shock and vibration will fit uniquely into the environmental concerns.
The major components of the Pilgrim Technology LLC solution are the Sensor Node, the Radio Interface Device
and the Sensor. |
