Kansei provides a testbed infrastructure to conduct experiments on various wireless platforms, including 802.11, 802.15.4, and 900 MHz Chipcon CC1000 radios, as well as diverse sensor node platforms, including XSM, TelosB, Imote2 and Stargates. Currently, Kansei consists of 96 Kansei Nodes. Each Kansei Node comprises of one XSM, four TelosBs, and one Imote2, all of which are attached to a Stargate. The Stargates are connected using both wired and wireless ethernet. The Kansei testbed is now part of the Global Environment for Network Innovation (GENI) project. The Kansei Testbed at Ohio State University is now being federated with the NetEye Testbed at Wayne State University.
The Kansei project is headed by Anish Arora. |

| Kansei Node: |
| The Stargates serve as the local gateway for each Kansei node. This allows the Kansei interface to directly program and communicate with each attached sensor node over a wired connection. The Stargate is a 32-bit class device purchased from CrossBow running Stargate Release 7.2 from Intel Research. IEEE 802.11b Wireless Networking cards (SMC2532W-B) are installed on each stargate with requisite software (HostAP), external antennas, and device housings. Stargate applications make use of the EmStar development environment. |

Availability of Kansei may be sporadic through 2012-04-08.
TelosB Topology Alive/Down status restored. Some Stargates are faulty; this issue will be investigated and fixed by 2012-04-30.
Kansei was unavailable from 2012-03-13 to 2012-03-14 due to a campus-wide power outage.
Due to an PHP upgrade conflict, uploading exe files did not work from 2011-12-20 to 2012-01-03. The issue is now fixed.
Kansei was offline for testing from 11:30-12:00 on 2011-12-30.
Added Dashboard experiment browsing; experiments before April 2010 may not show up. 2011-12-22.
A new KanseiLite release is available 2011-11-26.
NetEye site is down 2011-10-03.
