iMPACT - Resources

7 of them are 1GHz with 128 MB of RAM.
3 of them are 1GHz with 256 MB of RAM which are used for sensor application development.
2 of them are 2.4 GHz machines with 2 GB of RAM.
a 2.3GHz machine with 1GB of RAM is used for MATLAB simulations.
a 3.06GHz machine with 512MB of RAM is used as a server for sensor applications.
Three Pentium mobile laptops for experimental purposes.

We have a collection of eight PDAs, which are used in a health-monitoring testbed currently under development.

We also have a Linux server that is 1.5GHz Pentium based machine and has 1.5GB of RAM. It is mainly used for backing up our work and for running our simulations.

We use Berkeley motes for developing applications that make use of wireless sensor networks. For this purpose we have

6 programming boards (2 MIB500 and 4 MIB510)
11 sensor boards
41 Motes
5 mica2dot
6 iMotes donated by Intel.
and a ACTIVEHOME X10 kit that we use in applications that reduce user distraction.

Other sensors that we use in our research work
