panOulu WSN

panOULU WSN is a network of access points of IP-based Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) that will deployed around downtown Oulu in spring 2010.

panOULU WSN network’s access points use IEEE 802.15.4 technology on the 868 MHz band and provide multi-hop half-duplex IP connectivity for low power sensors with the 6LoWPAN protocol stack. panOULU WSN access points route the data collected by the sensors forward to a GSN (Global Sensor Network) server. The GSN server saves the data and refines it forward for the client.

The access points installed in June 2009 use a 2.4 GHz frequency band. In autumn 2009, the access points are updated to use a frequency band of 868 MHz, which is more suitable for the transfer of the measurement data of low-power sensors.

A prototype service provided with the panOULU WSN network is UBI-AMI.
