 What is WINS?
• Wireless integrated network sensors (WINS) provide distributed
network and Internet access to sensors, controls, and processors
that are deeply embedded in equipment, facilities, and the
environment.
• Wireless Integrated Network Sensors (WINS) combines
 Sensing
 Signal processing
 Decision capability and
 Wireless networking capability in a compact, low power system
 More about WINS
 WINS provide a new monitoring and control capability
for monitoring the Border of the country.

 It produce a less amount delay to detect the target.

 It is reasonably faster.

 On global scale wins will permit monitoring of land

,water and air resources for environment monitoring.
Evolution Of WINS…
 WINS Initiated in 1993 under
Defence advance research project
agency (DARPA) in US.
 LWIM (Low power wireless
integrated micro sensor) program
began in 1995.
 In 1998, WINS introduced for wide
variety of applications such as
multihop, self-assembled, wireless
network algorithms for operating at
 WINS System Architecture:
• WINS architecture includes sensor, data converter, signal
processing, and control functions.

• The micro power components operate continuously for event

recognition, while the network interface operates at low duty cycle.

Continuous operation low duty cycle

 THERMAL DETECTOR

 The detector used is the thermal detector. It just captures the

harmonic signals produced by the footsteps of the stranger
entering the border.
 These signals are then converted into their PSD values and
are then compared with the reference values set by the user.
WINS DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING
 If a stranger enters the border, his foot-steps will generate
harmonic signals.
 It can be detected as a characteristic feature in a signal power
spectrum.
 The spectrum analyzer resolves the WINS input data into a
low-resolution power spectrum.
PACKAGING
 The sensor must be design to minimize the liklihood of
environment effect of wind, rain,snow etc.
 The enclosure is manufacture from clear acrylic material.
 WINS Applications:

• On a global scale, WINS will permit monitoring of land, water,

and air resources for environmental monitoring .
• On a national scale, transportation systems, and borders will
be monitored for efficiency, safety, and security.
• On a local, enterprise scale, WINS will create a manufacturing
information service for cost and quality control.
• WINS is also used in Health care, Railways, Agriculture etc..

ADVANTAGES:

• It can accommodate new devices at any time.

• Its flexible to go through physical partition.

• It is very cheaper ,faster ,can be accessed in shorter

distances, having less amount of delay and also power

consumption is in the order of microwatt.

 CONCLUSION:

 Densely distributed sensor networks.

 Development platforms are now available .

 The network is self-monitoring and secure.

 Now it is possible to secure the border with an invisible
wall of thousands or even millions of tiny interconnected
sensors.
FUTURE SCOPE
• To employ more efficient technique for fault tolerance.
• To maximize the life time of sensor nodes.
• To provide efficient energy harvesting techniques.
