Abstract

We present a modular sensor network platform capable of supporting a wide range of applications. We developed a platform to support a broad spectrum of scenarios, instantiating our system for applications on the ground, in the water, and in the air. Our system has operated in the field for over 240 days with month long continuous deployments, measuring positions, temperatures, pressures, and rainfall, while computing cattle behaviors, event locations, and future river level. We use this experimental experience to discuss the lessons learned in designing and using a modular and multi-functional system.
