  10. Wireless Sensor Network • The WSN hardware platform employed in our current design is the MICAz mote from Crossbow • 8MHz micro-controller • 4KB RAM, 512KB Flash • MDA300 Data Acquisition Board • 12-bit AD • EC-5 Soil Moisture Sensors • IEEE 802.15.4 compliant CC2420 Transceiver 2.4 GHz,, 250 kbps • Adjustable transmission power from -25dBm to 0dBm • LOS outdoor transmission range 100 meters

  11. Wireless Sensor Network MICAz motes are powered by solar cells and rechargeable batteries. To survive extreme weather conditions, motes are packaged in weatherproof boxes and the boxes are installed 4 feet above the ground on top of metal poles to avoid flooding water and prevent fallen leaves from covering solar cells.

  16. Conclusion and Future Work A remote near-real-time environmental monitoring system that is successfully developed and deployed to support long-term environmental studies. Seamless Integration of the emerging WSN-based system and the legacy wired sensor system. Scaling-up the soil moisture monitoring WSN at the GBC site to around 100 motes to have a much larger geographic coverage than the current eight-mote deployment. More observatory sites will be upgraded with the proposed architecture.
