ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This article is based on the Design Project Reports from two fourth-year student teams working cooperatively. The team members responsible for developing the base station and video multiplexer were Roxana Davis, Muhammad Ikram, Nima Lotfizadeh, and Helen Luo. The second team, Anita Antony, Johnny Chan, James Dang, and Skylar Lei, handled the remote camera system. Thanks to Warren Flaman, Departmental Technician, for his help and for looking the other way when the teams needed parts.

Skylar Lei is currently a software engineering graduate student at the University of Calgary. Her long-term interest is in embedded systems. Skylar can be contacted via Jim Haslett.

Jim Haslett was the main customer for this project. He is an electrical engineering professor at the University of Calgary. His interests are microelectronics and instrumentation. You may reach Jim at haslett@enel.ucalgary.ca.

Michael Smith was the Team Design Project Course Coordinator in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at the University of Calgary. He teaches about embedded systems and software engineering, and researches in the biomedical engineering area. You may reach him at SmithMR@ucalgary.ca.
