Science has now shown the possibility of demonstrating the very fact of our existence that is "every body is connected through a single power source." I have always been fantasizing the situation in which every single thing at my home and in the office is connected, may it be inside the kitchen or bedroom or living room. Reading the article about ZeroG seems like a dream come true! In technical terms, it is about creating, storing and processing the data via internet. It is about having a network of things around you and interestingly all of them are connected. Isn't that great!
I work in a company that provides embedded solutions. The reason for working here is just that I love to be updated with the on-going technology and I think I am at the right place. My company has recently launched a development board that has the ZeroG module inside and it can do a lot of things.
The ZeroG module is based on 802.11b protocol. This protocol uses two methods of connectivity:
Ad Hoc: where every single device can communicate with the other device in the network on one-to-one basis
Access Point based: where there is a single access point through which each device is connected
This is extremely simple to use and cost effective. The most interesting thing about this is that it is a low power device. Hmm.. so what? It has on-chip power management, not processor managed. It is simple from user point of view but complex from inside.
Look and Feel? What about the antenna? It is a wireless device! I would not want antenna popping up from my toaster, oven, fridge, TV and all other my favorite things. This has an on-board antenna. So no compromise on the device shape.
I am really excited to see this module in different products that I have at home and in office. This is going to revolutionize the technology the human way!
