Wireless Mosquito Killer 802.11b Mesh Sensor Network

Talk about innovative uses of WiFi technology, "Wi-Fi mosquito killer coming to a porch near you" is a good CNET article about a proposed mesh sensor network that will use the Mosquito Magnet and 802.11b technology to create a smart mosquito killing network. This is quite impressive. Makes you wonder what our military is doing with sensor networks. I am quite sure there are some pretty creative ideas on the drawing boards for bio sensor networks.

AmBio, the company that makes the Mosquito Magnet, is pushing this to protect entire cities. I live in a city that has a mosquito problem and wouldn't be surprised if this shows up in the next few years where I live. Even if they don't bring this to market, this technological concept is quite cool.
