The aim of this article is to understand the importance of advance networking and
communication. With the implementation of advance networking environmental monitoring can be
done. This also helps in providing proper greenhouse control with the use of distributed sensor
network. A sensor is a small component that is used to determine the physical parameters associated
with the environment. Sensors main job is to measure the parameters and transmit this measures via
wireless medium or with the used of wired medium. This report has described the use of sensor in
today’s generation and the role played by them in managing the applications. Sensor and the
components related to them are termed as node in a wireless medium. Advance networking helps in
proper transmission of data effectively without any loss [5]. This paper aims at discussing about the
effect of using sensor network on environmental monitoring. The paper has discussed about the
experimental setup that helps in successful use of environmental monitoring. This becomes essential
to understand the effects that will be created with the aim of implementing the network on large scale.
The paper has proposed a sensor network that can be implemented with less cost and also includes
mitigation of the risks identified in the last models [3]. The report has described the important setup
needed for greenhouse. This includes a proper a proper greenhouse environment, sensors, greenhouse,
radiation, water and humidity, concentration of CO2.
This report has presented a model for agriculture application with the use of sensor networks.
The proposed model contains three main components, this are sensor network, gateway and base
station. This helps in proper monitoring of the greenhouse and proper measures to control the effect of
greenhouse. The proposed models helps to eradicate the drawbacks in the existing model. With the
implementation of the new model it is observed that excellent improvement is observed within the
sensing parameters [1]. The newly developed sensor network has implemented features like
temperature sensor, humidity sensor, vibration sensor and temperature sensor. The data sensed gets

processed with the use of micro controller and gets displayed in LCD display. The proposed model
focuses on the doing ideal assessment based on plant type and culture. The parameters accomplished
by wireless transmission helps in sharing the information to the remote monitoring station
periodically. The sensed data is forwarded towards the gateway. Further this data gets forwarded to
the monitoring base station. After all the assumptions made, it can be seen that the development
seems to be better with the implementation of wireless sensor network technology as it offers real
time data acquisition. While developing such an important technology it becomes equally important to
evaluate the risks that are likely to be faced at the implementation time. The concept of greenhouse
clearly indicates that it does not need much climatic parameters to be measured. With implementation
of this expertise it will become easy to determine the climatic limitations with the use of sensor
network [2]. This report ensures that with improved energy efficiency this mechanism can be
implemented within the world of wireless network with the use of well-known energy effective
circulated clustering mechanism.
Findings from the paper
The aim of this paper is to describe about the importance of having a sensor network. Sensor
has the ability to translate physical and chemical readings collected from the environment into signals
that can be calculated within a system. With the help of a multi sensor node the network is capable of
sensing the several other magnitudes within the system. Wireless sensor is a better way of network
architecture as it helps better detection for fire and verification. According to D.Dardari et al.
outdoor monitoring is one of the important factors while implementing a sensor network. For example
one of the latest example of sensor nodes are great duck island. With the implementation of this
networks environment monitoring becomes easy. The main benefit of sensor nodes is that it was able
to sense temperature, humidity and barometric pressure. In addition to this array was set for
monitoring the natural environment of birds and their related activities with the change on climate. In
order to develop a proper sensors in the environment without harming the birds, it is important to
track their actions. Thus motes were installed in birds burrow so that they can spot out the bird’s
presence. With the help of sensor network the landsides can be predicted [4]. This helps in mitigating
