Abstract
This paper discusses the design of a broadband wireless network infrastructure which itself is a rain measurement platform for application such as rain induced sudden hazards. The system consists of a hybrid broadband wireless network in conjunction with real-time acoustic rain rate point sensors and complementary rain gauges with a web-based proof of concept sudden hazard decision management system incorporating a GSM-based SMS alarm. The testbed simulates the commercial deployment of a line-of-sight wireless backbone (implemented via a 26 GHz and 2.4 GHz. Combined wireless signal fade, acoustic power and tipping bucket rain rate measurements indicate the feasibility of using rain-induced RF signal fade thresholds and fade durations to trigger imminent sudden hazards.
