ONWorld has been producing quality reports about the wireless sensor network market since 2003. ONWorld recently released a report about the use of wireless technologies in cities. Wireless sensor networks, of course, make cities safer, healthier, greener, and more productive. Featured in the description of the report is the firefighter safety project that Moteiv, UC Berkeley, and others worked on. PC World picked up the report and wrote their own mini review. The folks at ONWorld have been busy; they recently released a report on wireless sensor networks for green buildings.

In other news, Elster Group acquired Coronis, a maker of wireless sensors for automated meter reading. Coronis claims to have 1.2 million wireless sensors in deployment. Elster describes themselves as the world leader in metering technology, so that acquisition is a good match for the two companies.

And finally, a fun application is body sensor networks that monitor athletes. Imperial College London is showing off wireless sensors that can monitor our health and help train athletes. The system was used at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition in the UK. The event has passed, but if anyone had a chance to check it out, please drop us an email.
