Wireless Software Development Lab
Contact: Dr. Anthony Teate, teateaa@jmu.edu

The Wireless Software Development Laboratory and IKM Support Laboratory develops database driven middleware and software applications for interfacing to wireless devices such as RFID systems, Sensor Networks, PDAs, Cellular Telephones and GPS systems. The laboratory houses several development computers and servers including a high-speed dual Xeon-Processor based system and a high-performance extreme quad XPS system. Other equipment includes both active and passive RFID transceiver/transponder units operating from 125 KHz to 13.5 MHz, wireless sensor boards with processors, routers, switches, wireless PDAs, both Linux and Windows Servers and several platforms for software development including .NET, SQL Server, MySQL and PHP. The lab supports faculty research,several courses including ISAT 252 and ISAT 340, and ISAT Senior Thesis Projects. An IPv6 test lab network for research, application development and technology training is being constructed in the lab. Hybrid IPv4-IPv6 transition configurations are also researched. Peripheral support equipment includes printers



FOCUS: Wireless Energy Monitoring
Researchers: A. A. Teate

Researchers in the The Wireless Software Development Laboratory have designed a compact, low cost system for energy monitoring, control and reporting. The software interface is Microsoft WCF centric with IPV6 as the backbone communication protocol.
