A wireless sensor network (WSN) comprises of a number of sensors placed at strategic locations in the vicinity of a specific environment. These sensors gather data about particular areas which are within their range and then pass on this information to a central station. The central station receives information from all the sensors after that it collates and analyzes the data about a particular atmosphere. Type of data that a sensor can provide includes pressure, temperature and decibel level conditions. WSNs were initially used for military applications for the reason of surveillance in a battlefield area. At present, WSNs are used across a wide range of application.
