Motelab主页介绍了实验床的硬件、软件环境:

Hardware
We have deployed 190 TMote Sky sensor "motes", which consist of an TI MSP430 processor running at 8MHz, 10KB of RAM, 1Mbit of Flash memory and a Chipcon CC2420 radio operating at 2.4GHz with an indoor range of approximately 100 meters. Each node includes sensors for light, temperature, and humidity.

Each mote is powered from wall power (rather than batteries) and is connected to the departmental Ethernet, which facilitates direct capture of data and uploading of new programs. The Ethernet connection is used as a debugging and reprogramming feature only, as nodes will generally communicate via radio.

Software
Nodes run the TinyOS operating system and are programmed in the NesC programming language, a component-oriented variant of C. Typically, you will be able to prototype your application either using the TOSSIM simulation environment or with a handful of motes on your desktop. You then use the MoteLab web interface to upload your program to the building-wide network.

实际上,我所在的原WSN课题组的ProNet也是很不错的,界面可以参见这里,只是实验室已经不再做WSN这个方向,因此暂时搁置了.希望我将来有机会留在高校工作的话,能够建立起教育网内的山寨"MoteLab" :-).
