| Abstract | In creating wireless networking solutions suitable for deployment in harsh, unpredictable, and widespread environments, we were confronted with a series of problems as-yet unsolved by commercially available technologies. The purpose of this article is to describe how we addressed mission-critical customer requirements by developing a wireless technology explicitly for devices in Ultra Low Power (ULP) and Long-Range wireless mesh networks. The key end-points in our target implementation are battery-operated devices located in hard-to-reach places, but which are nonetheless expected to offer a lifespan of several years without human intervention.We provide an overview of the technical requirements for building ULP networks, with a focus on configuration and management (including patent pending self-configuration and dynamic-routing features).This is followed by a case study of an existing 25,000 node wireless network deployed for an automatic meter reading (AMR) solution, and examples of provisioning individual nodes in complex real-world networks. We also describe how transmitting information about existing network hierarchy to new nodes not only preserves overall battery life in other network nodes, but also simplifies installation efforts significantly. The technology described here is particularly applicable to metering, telemetry, remote monitoring, and large-scale data collection solutions, while straightforwardly suited for personal and property security, medical surveillance, access control, lighting systems, as well as numerous industrial sectors.With a strong background in utility metering systems, Coronis Systems provides ready-to-use wireless solutions for manufacturers, VARs, and integrators in the automatic remote metering and wireless sensor network industries. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
