What is WISP? HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wisp

CLSID contained in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wisp\Pen

WISP stands for Wireless Identification and Sensing Platform. The term "Identification" comes from "Radio Frequency Identification." WISPs have the capabilities of RFID tags, but also support sensing and computing. Like any passive RFID tag, WISP is powered and read by a standard off-the-shelf RFID reader, harvesting the power it uses from the reader's emitted radio signals.

WISPs have these features:

• Up to 10ft range with harvested RF power

• Ultra-low power MSP430 microcontroller

• 32K of program space, 8K of storage

• Light, temperature and 3D-accelerometers

• Backscatter communication to reader

• Reader to WISP communication (ASK)

• Real-time clock

• Storage capacitor (to sense without reader)

• Voltage sensor (measures stored charge)

• Extensible hardware (to add new sensors)

• HW UART & GPIO for external connections

• Works with select EPC Class 1 Gen 2 readers

• WISP software to sense and upload data

• Reader application to drive WISP

• Industry standard development tools

• Access to hardware design and source code
