  • Abstract
    We deployed Field Servers in tropical zones such as India and Thailand for challenges in high temperature and found several problems to be solved technologically. Deployment of Field Servers under high temperature and lack of broad band Internet service is still big challenge as we so far deployed in Himalaya. High temperature and strong solar radiation destroyed low-cost Field Servers in half years. The most important technology to deploy sensor networks in such extreme environments is robustness from view point of total cost. At least, strength of the hardware and stable internet connectivity are needed.
