Heron Island Sensor Network Deployments (deployed)

The Sensor Network at Heron Island was deployed in late 2008. The base station was located on the existing telecommunications tower (star on the map) and six network relay poles (RP1 to RP6, diamonds on the map) were deployed around the reef to create the on-reef wireless network. Each poles has a single bottom mounted thermistor.

Five Sensor-Floats (SF1 to SF5, circles on map) were deployed in the lagoon, each currently has a single thermistor located on the base or underneath of the float.

One of the poles (RP5) also has a weather station mounted on it.

A larger Multi-Float (double circle on the map) is planned for the Wistari Channel, this is planned to be deployed in early 2010.
