Agriculture and natural resources associated to it, like water, soil and forest carry out an important role in country’s future and environment conservation, thus, the optimization of these resources through implementation strategies and technological gadgets make this possible
(Perfetti, Balcázar, Hernández, & Leibovich, 2013). Different platforms, communication protocols and operative systems for motes were analyzed, focused on WSN (Wireless Sensor
Network). Then, an agricultural monitoring prototype for yucca farming in Atlantico department was developed, based on Z1 Zolertia platform, programmed by Contiki language and working with RPL protocol (Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks). The motes
integration, the operative system and protocol, were evaluated with packet losses performance metrics, RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator), LQI (Link Quality Indicator) and network convergence, showing a good performance at different distances. Later, a deployment model was made based on regular polygons, using the Schäfli (the number of nodes can be calculated
avoiding randomness). Additionally, the node coverage range was calculated, obtaining the distance between them to keep the network uniformity as suggested in (Poe & Scmitt, 2009). Link Networks Budgets were made with the calculated distances and device specifications, using Radio Mobile software, to finally plant a deployment model.
