, , , ,

This paper formulates a conceptual model for designing wireless sensor networks as a development enabling tool in extremely resource-limited environments. The model effectively integrates the conventional communications and networking approach with data processing techniques and usability interfaces. The paper also highlights several novel design mechanisms that have been developed around the proposed model and implemented within the context of a broader ongoing project addressing ICT needs of rural communities in Sub-Saharan Africa.
