Popis: This chapter reviews the use of wireless sensor networks in cultural and natural heritage monitoring and describes the platforms presently available on the market. The main characteristics of this technology are discussed in the context of demanding long-term monitoring. The issues addressed include the RF bands, transceiver models, and network topologies most often used, power source and consumption options, and the possible applications of the hardware/software developments for the platforms analyzed. The monitoring capabilities and versatility of each platform are investigated with respect to the sensors that can be installed to track the parameters of interest in heritage studies. End-user network configuration and the research opportunities afforded by this technology in the areas concerned are also highlighted.
