Abstract
Research activities in the area of WSNs need expositive performance statistics about scenario, systems, protocols, gathered data and applications. The objective of this contribution is to present an epitome on currently available testbeds for wireless sensor networks. The statistics gathered from this experimental tool can be realistic and convenient, and also due to cost of large number of sensors most researches in WSNs area is performed by using this experimental tool in various universities, institutes, and research centers before implementing real one. This experimental tool provides the better option for studying the behavior of WSNs before implementing the physical one. In this contribution total 51 testbeds has been presented in which 35 testbeds are presented in useful decisive manner with respect to WSN while rests are just listed; these experimental tools are implemented in somewhere for WSNs research or available in literatures.
