Abstract: An arrangement suitable for a mobile local wireless network includes: a gateway to facilitate a local short-range wireless network, to receive at least sensor measurement data via the short-range wireless network, and to be connected to an in-situ computing device; a computing device connected to the gateway, having a unit to obtain sensor measurement data via the gateway from sensor nodes; a sensor node transmitting measurement data via long-range wireless networks, and transmitting measurement data and receiving beacon signals via short-range communication. The gateway sends beacon signals. The sensor node receives a beacon signal and utilizes only the short-range wireless network for sending the measurement data, terminating transmission of data over long-range wireless networks for a period of time, in accordance with commands received from the gateway or as long as a beacon signal is detected at the sensor nodes. Corresponding gateway, method and computer-program product are also disclosed.

Abstract: An arrangement for sensor node calibration, including a calibration chamber including or being connected to a unit to facilitate control of at least one calibration quantity or attribute in the calibration chamber, a reference measuring unit arranged to measure at least one calibration quantity or attribute inside the calibration chamber, and a computing unit arranged to obtain from at least one sensor node sensor node identifier (ID) information, sensor node measurement information, wherein the computing unit is arranged to identify a sensor node based on sensor node ID information received from the sensor node, obtain measurement information the identified 0sensor node, obtain calibration quantity or attribute measurement in-formation from the reference measuring unit, and compare calibration quantity or attribute measurement information with sensor node measurement information. Corresponding device and method are also disclosed.
