Figure 5-5. Example deployment in flat terrains
Deploying in Hilly Terrains
Hilly terrains, as typically found in vineyards, result in large variations of radio ranges due to
altitude changes and foliage. Figure 5-6 is a picture of a deployment done in a vineyard in Napa,
California. Radio range between ēKo nodes mounted about 8 ft above ground in the vineyard
range from 300 to 700 ft typically (eg. nodes 501, 506). ēKo nodes that are located with some
elevation relative to other units and clear line-of-sight can achieve ranges of upto 2000 feet (eg.
node 504).
