ScatterWeb in geographic information systems

Providing vital information

What is GIS?
Geographical information systems combine plain data with sophisticated comprehensive maps. Information like 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 are directly connected and mapped to the local environment and therefore become more than just plain data.

What do wireless sensor networks do in GIS?
To get the information of critical points on several locations at the same time requires a flexible and reliable infrastructure. This infrastructure usually comes with cost intensive cabling or cellular applications.
ScatterWeb wireless networks give you the flexibility and reliability and provide in addition a low-cost alternative to wired solutions.
ScatterNodes attached to sensitive points of buildings can hand you up-to-date information such as integrity and condition.
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.

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. At the moment one setup is installed at the Zugspitze in the German Alps and measures the condition of the permafrost.
