Abstract:

The purpose of this work is a general overview of Wireless Sensor Network technology in developing countries agriculture. The agriculture in developing countries is the same as in other developed countries, has its own needs to be productive as much as possible, and WSN can be applied here. Therefore, it is always necessary to know the right situation on your field, actual data, and useful information through the most sufficient technologies such as WSN. Sensors are used for collecting information about physical and environmental attributes whereas actuators are employed to react to the feedback to have control over the situations. WSN can be used for different purposes not only in agriculture, but for example for mapping pollutions in a city, water, air and because of different purposes are different types of WSN, transmissions (long-range, short-range) hardware, data logger platforms, frequency, operating systems, network architecture, energy harvesting, data management. Like everything else in the world, WSN brings a lot of pros and cons. Despite poor electricity situation in developing countries mainly rural areas, I would like to show the current state of WSN with its options. Wireless System Network is difficult and new topic, so it should be deeply explained. The situation in developing countries is way different and its possibilities are different, the right WSN should be applied in developing countries.
