Abstract

This extended abstract describes our experiences in the deployment of QuRiNet, a wireless mesh network at the Quail Ridge Natural Reserve. Quail Ridge boasts 2,000 acres of untouched wilderness on a peninsula of Lake Berryessa, California. In deploying a mesh network at Quail Ridge, we seek to assist ecological research in the area by providing a communications infrastructure and also provide a platform for wireless mesh networks research. The network currently comprises of about six nodes and supports three video cameras and a few audio sensors. We plan to deploy five more nodes in the near future, with about twenty nodes being the final goal. This abstract will describe our work in deploying this network and give the reader an overview of our current system and deployment status.
