Millennial Net Wins Best of Sensors Expo Award
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--June 16, 2003--Millennial Net, Inc., the leading developer of self-organizing wireless sensor networks, today announced that the company received top honors from Sensors magazine as part of the publication's Best of Sensors Expo awards program at Sensors Expo & Conference Spring 2003 in Rosemont, IL.
The editors of Sensors magazine, the leading publication in the sensors industry for more than 19 years, recognized Millennial Net's i-Bean 5000, the latest version of its ultra-small, ultra-low power wireless sensor networking device, as one of the most exciting new products on display at Sensors Expo in the Communications and Networking category. Awards were given to unique products that are currently available and that Sensors' editors predict will significantly impact the use of sensing in designs and applications.
"The editors of Sensors chose Millennial Net's i-Bean 5000 for a Best of Sensors Expo award from a broad field of competitors because we feel the product will have a large and positive impact, enabling sensors to be placed where previously they could not," said Barbara Goode, editor-in-chief of Sensors magazine. "We particularly like the i-Bean 5000's tiny size, extraordinarily low power consumption, easy-to-use setup, and self-organizing protocol. We see a promising future for Millennial Net i-Beans."
Leveraging a portfolio of radio technologies, including micro-power narrowband solutions as well as wireless personal area network (WPAN) components, i-Bean-enabled sensors form self-organizing wireless networks enabling the communication between sensors or other control devices without the need for human administration and with very low power consumption. i-Beans allow OEMs and systems integrators to extend their product lines to offer tiny wireless sensors that can be placed in locations never before possible with existing technologies.
"We founded Millennial Net on the premise that an i-Bean-enabled world is a safer, more convenient and more productive world," said Tod Riedel, president and co-founder of Millennial Net. "This recognition from Sensors magazine validates both the opportunities inherent in low-power, self-organizing wireless sensing applications and our approach to developing practical technology solutions to enable the deployment of wireless sensor networks today."
