Introduction Nodes Relay Station
The first major change in farming was the mechanization The sensor nodes are responsible for gathering the data The relay station is designed to gather the information
of tools. The second major change was the use of from the sensors and packaging the data for from all nodes and re-transmit via Wi-Fi to a LAN server.
pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers to increase crop transmission to the relay station. Some features of the The station includes an LCD display and keypad to allow
yields. The next major change will be electronic nodes include: for easy configuration and set-up of work. Long

Electronic monitoring can be achieved by deploying a per node.
The relay station also has an onboard SD memory card
