  • Abstract
    This paper describes the design and installation of infrastructure to support a sensor network on Davies Reef in the Great Barrier Reef. This infrastructure incorporates a sensor gateway that provides an aggregation point for sensor data, a hybrid power supply and a high-speed microwave link. The resulting system is self-sufficient. It provides a robust interface for a planned sensor network in a location that has limited access and is in an extremely harsh environment.
