Jamey:

  Have you done any research into sensor pricing? We've looked at several
products including ones from Airwave. They all use either AP or iPAQ
hardware and therefore cost about $400-$800. To get accuracy we
believe we need a dense deployment of sensors but we cannot deploy
such a sensor network at these prices.

Thanks,Steve
