Design of Remote Monitoring System for Aquaculture Cages Based on 3G Networks and ARM-Android Embedded System

This paper designed a remote monitoring system devoted to open-ocean-aquaculture cages, to enhance the level of automation control on aquaculture cages, which is based on the combination of two key technologies: 3G wireless communication platform and embedded system based on ARM-Android system. It consists of three parts: aquaculture-cage detecting terminal, portable monitor terminal and remote data centers. Detecting terminals collect real-time seawater parameters and video information, which is transferred to portable monitor terminal by 3G wireless networks; portable monitor terminals send commands according to the information having been received, which is to be sent to remote data centers through Wi-Fi wireless networks.
