Leveraging ultra-low power microcontroller and RF technologies from Texas Instruments, Sensys Networks' Wireless Vehicle Detection System has emerged as a leading traffic management solution because it operates accurately and reliably in harsh conditions for more than 10 years. The Sensys system combines state-of-the-art magnetic sensors with advanced packet radio technology, providing a cost-effective, dependable solution for a wide range of traffic management applications.
The Sensys wireless sensors are based on TI's MSP430F14x and MSP430F16x MCUs that run at ultra-low power levels to ensure maximum life of the system, drastically reducing maintenance effort and cost. The data from the sensors is transmitted real-time to a nearby location via TI's CC2430 RF transceiver, and is then transmitted to a local traffic controller or off-site traffic management system.

Helping us to extend the life of our product well beyond that of our competitors, we chose TI's MSP430 MCU for its ultra low power capability, said Robert Kavaler, senior VP at Sensys Networks. With TI's MCU and RF transceiver technology, we're able to offer the leading traffic management solution in the market.
