Aiming to take much of the technical complexity out of setting up and configuring wireless sensor networks, start-up technology vendor Synapse Inc. today released a series of wireless control networking products based on the company's proprietary Synapse Network Appliance Protocol (SNAP).

The new products include SNAP Portal software that manufacturers can use to configure and change the behavior of wireless end devices via a series of English scripts rather than complex computer coding using languages such as C++.
