2. Waspmote Plug & Sense! - Encapsulated Line
Waspmote is the original line in which developers have a total control over the hardware device. You can physically access to the
board and connect new sensors or even embed it in your own products as an electronic sensor device.
The Waspmote Plug & Sense! line allows developers to forget about electronics and focus on services and applications. You can
deploy wireless sensor networks in an easy and scalable way ensuring minimum maintenance costs. The platform consists of
a robust waterproof enclosure with specific external sockets to connect the sensors, the solar panel, the antenna and even the
USB cable in order to reprogram the node. It has been specially designed to be scalable, easy to deploy and maintain.

2.1.2. Sensor Probes

Sensor probes can be easily attached by just screwing them into the bottom sockets. This allows you to add new sensing
capabilities to existing networks just in minutes. In the same way, sensor probes may be easily replaced in order to ensure the
lowest maintenance cost of the sensor network.
