Arch Rock provides products that accelerate the development and deployment of networked sensors, allowing new levels of information to be integrated with an Internet-based computing world.

Arch Rock Primer Pack

Arch Rock Primer Pack is a complete, out-of-the-box wireless sensor network (WSN) that allows for the rapid development and deployment of pilot networks. It is simple enough to be deployed in an hour, yet sophisticated enough to be seamlessly integrated into enterprise applications as a set of standards-compliant web services. With its service-oriented architecture (SOA), Internet Protocol (IP)-based services and tools, and responsive, low-power mesh networking, the Primer Pack provides seamless integration with the IT enterprise. Users can now realize the power of wireless sensor networks immediately.



The Primer Pack monitors environmental conditions such as temperature, light, and humidity from onboard sensors. Expansion ports and pre-integrated sensor drivers allow users to easily augment their sensor nodes by choosing from thousands of different external switches, sensors, and relays to create uniquely tailored wireless networks. A Web-based interface lets users add an external sensor without having to write embedded software on the sensor nodes. Where ultimate flexibility is required, all of the Arch Rock software sensor capabilities are available as Web Services and accessible through a variety of popular and standard application development environments.
