MicroStrain Wins Frost & Sullivan Award for Innovation in Sensor Cloud Computing
Jake Galbreath accepts the Frost & Sullivan award.
Based on its recent analysis of the sensor cloud computing market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes MicroStrain, Inc. with the Global Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Leadership for SensorCloud™, a platform for sensor data storage, visualization, and remote data management. MicroStrain leverages advanced cloud computing technologies in SensorCloud™ to provide data scalability, rapid graphing, and user programmable online analytics for sensor data.
SensorCloud supports MicroStrain devices & any web-connected third party device, sensor, or sensor network.
"MicroStrain added cloud services to its product line so that low-power, miniature digital sensors can now easily communicate with the Internet," said Frost & Sullivan Industry Principal Dr. Rajender Thusu. "This one-of-a-kind technology helps to reduce the cost of operations and the challenges involved in the process."
Congratulations to Trent Hassell of NOV IntelliServ, winner of our "Win an Apple iPad 2" application contest. Mr. Hassell submitted his application in which MicroStrain's V-Links and WSDA-Base-104 were used to perform drill pipe fatigue testing. Stay tuned, as Mr. Hassell's application will be featured on our website in the coming months!
Tech Note: New Wireless Sensor Networks SDK Available
Our new Wireless Sensor Networks Software Development Kit (SDK) supports application development on MicroStrain's mXRS™ Wireless Nodes and WSDA® Base Stations. The nodes and base stations are completely operating system and coding language independent and the SDK enables developers to integrate the nodes and base stations into any environment.The SDK includes a data communications protocol manual, node and base station EEPROM maps, and sample code in C++, LabVIEW and VB.Net.
"More than ever, scientific discovery and the technological innovations derived from basic research are serving as the foundations for dynamic state, regional and national economies," notes Beth Hill, writer for the Burlington Free Press. In a recent article, she investigates the need for college students to begin bolstering their resumes prior to graduating, and the movement of businesses to begin investing in talent well before they've attained their degree.
Hill continues, "MicroStrain's college interns earn extra money while gaining valuable experience working with senior engineers to develop cutting edge sensing systems.
'MicroStrain has a long history of providing paid internships for engineering and computer science students from Vermont colleges and universities as well as for students who may be returning to Vermont from out-of-state schools over their winter and summer vacations,' said Steve Arms, MicroStrain President and CEO. 'Many of our former student interns are now full-time members of our staff, and they're now mentoring our student interns for the future."
MicroStrain President & CEO, Steve Arms, to Present at IMAC XXIX
MicroStrain will be exhibiting and presenting a paper at the upcoming IMAC-XXX Conference & Exposition on Structural Dynamics, held on January 30th - February 2nd, 2012 at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront in Jacksonville, Florida, USA. We will be featuring our latest products including our synchronized wireless sensing systems and SensorCloud at Booth 201.
