Motes They are tiny particles which will be around the size of a grain of sand They are tiny particles which will be around the size of a grain of sand They contain sensors which have the computational capability, power supply, programmable microprocessor, analog circuitry They contain sensors which have the computational capability, power supply, programmable microprocessor, analog circuitry A network of these motes leads to SMART DUST project A network of these motes leads to SMART DUST project Can communicate with a base station or with other motes depending on the application Can communicate with a base station or with other motes depending on the application

Base Station Transceiver It is used to retrieve the data stored by the motes It is used to retrieve the data stored by the motes It consists of a laser source and a receiver It consists of a laser source and a receiver Enables communication with the motes Enables communication with the motes
