Geo Informations Systems (GIS)
What's GIS?
Geographical information
systems combine plain data
with sophisticated
comprehensive maps.
Information such as
environmental data (e.g.
temperature or humidity),
energy consumption or the
location of goods are
displayed on a topographical
map providing an easy to use
overview.
Information is directly
connected and mapped to the
local environment and therefore becomes more than
just plain data.
What do
wireless sensor networks do in
GIS?
To get the
information form critical points at several locations concurrently requires a flexible and
reliable infrastructure. This
infrastructure usually comes
with cost intensive cabling or
cellular applications.
ScatterWeb wireless networks
provide the flexibility and
reliability as well as being a low-cost alternative
to wired solutions.
ScatterNodes attached to
sensitive points of buildings
can hand you up-to-date
on information on integrity
and conditions.
ScatterNodes spread over a wide
area build up a network by their
own and cover environmental
information like temperature and
humidity.
The ScatterGate gathers the data
from the network and relays them
to the customer. It is usually
connected to the Internet via
GSM, W-LAN or through a PC.
SensorGIS
SensorGIS is a service provided
in cooperation with
Terrestris GmbH Bonn. It can
provide all parts of the wireless
networking technology and data
preparation for the World Wide
Web. If you want to use the
powerful combination of wireless
sensor networks and GIS in web
applications

SensorGIS demo setup with
5 Nodes, 1 Gateway and
transportation box
Together
with Terrestris ScatterWeb runs
a SensorGIS demo setup which is
shown on fairs and other events.
The measured data points are stored and
can be seen on a map.

The PermaSensorGIS Project
The joint project
PermaSensorGIS supports the
research of several
environmental parameters related
to the spread and alteration of
permafrost in high alpine
regions with the help of new
technologies.

A Sensor based Landslide Early Warning System
The joint project SLEWS aims at a systemic
development of a prototyping alarm- and early
warning system to address different kinds of natural
hazards citing landslides as an example. In this
context ScatterWeb provides the network platform
used by the distributed measurement instruments to
transfer their data (i.e. ground condition). The
self healing abilities and the wide coverage
provided via multi-hop capability are ScatterWeb key
features in this application. More on this on the
SLEWS Website..

Together we create the solutions
that your customers are waiting
for and help you growing into
new areas as well as creating
new exiting solutions.
