Tiivistelmä
The aim of this master’s thesis was to study a selection of environmental and infrastructural monitoring devices and their wireless connectivity. The company Haltian Ltd. was interested in studying the possibility of using the device they were developing, with the measurement devices available for those areas, and to find out if the connectivity of the developed device was already suitable for the usage with the devices on the market.
The technical information of the wireless sensors was searched from the product manufacturer's web pages. Detail information of the sensors was found out in books and on web pages. Basic knowledge for the study topic comes from the bachelor's degrees in both civil engineering and information technology.
The result of the study was that measurement devices that would have been easily con-nectable wirelessly to the developed device were not found. Hence, the conclusion was that the test phase was not executed. Anyway, several devices and manufacturers were studied and overall picture of the devices and the technologies used in environmental and infrastructural monitoring was gained. It came out that in many cases manufacturers are developing their monitoring systems with proprietary wireless protocols. On the other hand, sensor devices could be used with a wired analog connectivity method. This could be considered in the future device development.
