ABSTRACT
We demonstrate a simple RFID sensor network com-
prised of an Intel WISP and a commodity UHF RFID
reader. WISPs are devices that gather their operating
energy from RFID reader transmissions, in the manner
of standard RFID tags, and further include sensors, e.g.,
accelerometers, and provide a very small-scale comput-
ing platform. We believe that this makes them an attrac-
tive alternative to motes for many of the original smart
