What is PhyNet™ and what does it mean to have a tiered architecture?
PhyNet is an Internet Protocol (IP)-based platform that implements a tiered WSN architecture that eliminates the need to co-locate individual sensor networks with the server-based functions that control them. By placing a scalable internetworking tier – the PhyNet Router – between them. Sensor applications can now reside half a world away, across a corporate campus or in the next room, communicating with any number of WSNs across local-area or wide-area IP networks.
