We would like to announce the release of Octopus, a new modular visualization and control tool for sensor networks, developed at the PRISM group in UCD.
Octopus is an open-source visualization and control tool for sensor networks in the TinyOS 2.x environment. Octopus provides users with a graphical user interface (GUI) for viewing the live sensor network topology. It also allows the user to control the behavior of one, many, or all sensor nodes, such as the sampling period, the radio duty cycle, or triggering mode.
For more information, please refer to the Octopus Project Home Page

The MISL research lab at UCC & InfoLab21 at Lancaster University have developed a new scheduler for TinyOS-2.x as a tinyos-2.x-contrib module.
By adding task preemption the new scheduler is capable of interrupting non-critical tasks and begin processing tasks of greater priority immediately. Preemptive schedulers can make it easier for users to meet their application timing constraints.
The new scheduler allows programmers to define a TinyOS task with a specific priority. 5 task priority levels are possible one of which supports the basic TinyOS task.

Crossbow Technology announces immediate availability of its new IRIS motes, a new family of ultra low-power, long-range wireless sensor network products. The IRIS platform features the following:
* Excellent RF range up to 3x that of comparable devices using IEEE 802.15.4 compliant radios
* Ultra low-power consumption down to half the sleep current of previous products (~8uA)
* Twice the program memory of MicaZ (8kB)
* Compelling new low price points
The IRIS OEM Module is a 24mm x 24mm "postage stamp" module optimized for fast, seamless integration of low-power, wireless mesh-networking into OEM hardware designs.
The IRIS Mote includes an IRIS OEM Module in a MicaZ form factor with compatible 51-pin connector that can attach to existing and new sensor boards.
The Iris runs TinyOS 1.x based Moteworks which can be downloaded free for non commercial use.

Sensinode Ltd. and Philippe Bonnet's group at the University of Copenhagen DIKU announce TinyOS support for Sensinode Micro and Nano series nodes. In addition to the company's own 6lowpan C-based NanoStack, TinyOS support provides greater access for researchers to experiment with a huge variety of existing protocols.
Sensinode Micro is a modular (Telos-compatible) plug'n'play product series for rapid prototyping with a variety of add-on modules. In the Hogthrob project Marcus Chang developed TinyOS 1.X support available at tinyos-1.x/contrib/diku/sensinode/apps/. Release of 2.X support is planned.
At the recent TinyOS Exchange, DIKU's Martin Leopold and Marcus Chang demonstrated the world's first TinyOS 8051 support, on the new Sensinode Nano OEM module. Nano is based on the CC2430 SoC, and is scheduled for 2Q-2007 release.
Sensinode is an enterprise wireless sensor network node and system provider from Finland, providing open-standard open-source solutions.

Arch Rock announced Primer Pack/IP as the first commercial offering
based on the IETF 6LoWPAN proposed standard for IP over IEEE 802.15.4
wireless links.
Built on a TinyOS 2.0-based foundation, Primer Pack/IP adds native
IPv6 support to the sensor nodes, AES-128-based link-level encryption
and node authentication, and extended data-management capabilities to
the out-of-the-box Wireless Sensor Network solution provided in its
Primer Pack. Low-power embedded wireless devices can now be truly the
next tier of the Internet.
You can read more about Primer Pack/IP the official press release or
several articles regarding IP within sensor networks at

EasySen, LLC. is pleased to announce two new sensor boards compatible with Tmote Sky/TelosB radio platforms, in addition to its previous release of SBT80, a multi modality sensor board.
The WiEye sensor board is a low power, highly sensitive surveillance and security board that has the capability of detecting IR signatures from more than 100 feet distance. It has many unique features that allow for extremely low sampling rates and ''backdating'' of events.
The SBT30EDU is a low price educational development board with a prototyping area, 3 integrated sensors, and connectivity to external devices. This versatile board is tailored to the needs of university labs and system developers.
Companion TinyOS (compliant with TinyOS 1.x) and Java codes are available for reading sensor channels and display on PC. Upgrades to the TinyOS 2.x standard will be provided soon.
WiEye and SBT30EDU are available for ordering and shipping immediately.
