BigNet - A Distributed Wireless Sensor Network Testbed

鉴于无线传感器网络的迅速出现，所开发的基础设施将具有国家/国际意义。这个综合设施将使澳大利亚在研究和技术开发以及对社会负责的传感器网络部署方面成为世界领先的参与者。该设施的明确目标是确保澳大利亚成为传感器网络的技术领导者，而不仅仅是技术用户。该测试设施将反映在大堡礁和木材种植园实施WSN的实际要求，这将为澳大利亚带来可观的经济效益。

The infrastructure developed will be of national /international significance, given the rapid emergence of wireless sensor networks. This integrated facility will allow Australia to be a world leading player in the research and technology development as well as the socially responsible deployment of sensor networks. The facility has the explicit aim to ensure that Australia is a technology leader rather than solely a technology user in sensor networks. The test facility will mirror practical requirements for WSN implementation in the Great Barrier Reef and in timber plantation, which would offer substantial economic benefits to Australia.
