Wi-Fi clients share 3G connection. Wi Fi clients share 3G connection. 3G Wi-Fi hotspot

Next Stage g 1. 3G became available at almost places in the world. 2 Power should be provided by solar energy for 2. Power should be provided by solar energy for many objectives. 3. Cloud services became useful for data collection and data sharing. g 4. Methods to develop hardware & firmware are changing dramatically for IT revolution and changing dramatically for IT-revolution and open-source technology.

A Ambient Sensor Cloud bi t S Cl d As Application Oriented As Application Oriented Sensor Network Sensor Network

Large-Scale Sensor Network Large Scale Sensor Network • Calibration Center for Remote Sensing • Precise position sensing by sensor fusion: Wi-Fi, Camera, Sonar, Laser etc. • Robot farming • Whole ecosystem sensing ( physiome , high-throughput phenotyping )

Calibration by The Weather Station Calibration by The Weather Station Air-temperature, Humidity, Soil moisture, Soil temperature, Solar radiation and so on are measured.

“Free 3G”: Amazon provides free worldwide 3G p web browsing since 2010 Aug. Agreements with mobile networks in “over 100 ″ countries. The agreement allows Kindle owners to use 3G networks g for free anywhere.

Next Challenges g 1. Free Communication services: Amazon’s 1. Free Communication services: Amazon s “Free 3G” made Kindle easy to use. 2. Free monitoring services: data collected by 2 F i i i d ll d b sensor networks can be shared on cloud services. 3 Free apps services: business model to make 3. Free apps services: business model to make data collection and apps. Almost all users are not interested in techs but interested in t i t t d i t h b t i t t d i profit by using apps .

Conclusions 1. Open-FS was developed by using open source hardware/software and a mother board. board. 2. Amazon’s “Free 3G” shows a future application combining sensor networks and li ti bi i t k d cloud services. 3. A concept of “Ambient Sensor Cloud” was proposed -- Apps using sensor-network data proposed. -- Apps using sensor-network data at any points should be available on cloud for free.
