Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are very useful for data acquisition in harsh environments or where the maintenance of wired infrastructure would not be viable. Despite of these advantages WSN nodes have a limited range ratio thus to collect data on long distance is necessary to construct a path with many relay nodes to reach the destination. Another limitation of these networks is that they often rely on batteries to operate, which can cause a serious limitation in the network lifetime. In this work it was developed a solution based on a Multi-hop WSN to collect data on long distance, and, also some strategies such as ‘sleep schedule’, ‘data aggregation’ and ‘hub polling’ were implemented to extend the WSN lifetime. This could be done by modifications at RFBee Libraries that reinforces the importance of flexibility and portability of this device.
