Summary:
Current technologies for access to Local and Metropolitan Area Networks (LANs and MANs) are often unsuitable for large scale distribution in an agricultural environment.
The use of these communication networks for connecting automation and remote control devices for irrigation systems allows registering and distributing water by means of several technological tools provided by digital electronics.
The aim of the “Agricultural Low Cost Integral System of nodes with communication networks for remote water management with sensors and monitoring of the vegetative state of crops (ALCIS)” project is to develop a low cost sensor network for soil-plant-atmosphere measurements and an ICT frame with automated decision support capabilities using smart algorithms for irrigation management and Geographical Information System (GIS) based spatial data aggregation together with tools for end user farmers for remote monitoring and control of their farms.
