Advantages

Wireless sensor networks are used in those harsh and hostile environments where wired networks can't be deployed. For example in a forest, wireless sensor nodes are dropped from the air because going down there and deploying a wired setup is not possible.

Another advantage is that the wireless sensor networks are scalable. That is why they are actively being used in applications such as Structural Health Monitoring where there is a need of dense deployment and with a dense wired set up, it may lead to a chaos at the time of deployment. Moreover a dense wired set up will prove to be very costly. On the other hand, wireless sensor nodes can easily be deployed without any hustle.

Disadvantages

Limited computation and communication resources are the only disadvantages in wireless sensor networks. They have limited battery power, limited storage and computation capabilities, prone to the security attacks and have limited bandwidth to communicate.

Despite of the above disadvantages, sensor networks are being used widely and considered to be the backbone of the phenomenon we call “Internet of Things”.
