PotatoNet-Outdoor WSN Testbed for Smart Farming Applications

We present PotatoNet, an outdoor testbed for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Its primary focus is robustness, reliability and flexibility. PotatoNet is designed to operate without on-site maintenance for extended periods of time. It can withstand heat, dust and rain and has already been tested running outside for several months.
