Distributed monitoring subsystems based on a Bluetooth implementation

The wireless concept goes beyond the reducing of cables and provides, in some standards, mechanisms for Ad-Hoc network construction. Bluetooth as one of these wireless communication standards leads the way in the so-called Personal Area Networks (PAN). Although this wireless protocol was not intended to be used in industrial communications this paper presents a possible implementation oil monitoring systems. The monitoring system this paper addresses to is based upon a distributed architecture whose application field is environment monitoring.
