sensor network comprises a group of tiny, typically battery-powered devices and wireless infrastructure that monitor and record conditions in any number of environments -- from the factory floor to the data center to a hospital lab and even out in the wild. The sensor network connects to the Internet, an enterprise WAN or LAN, or a specialized industrial network so that collected data can be transmitted to back-end systems for analysis and used in applications.
