Abstract

—In the context of the growing concern for environmental monitoring and water resources management, this research emphasizes the study of river level monitoring systems through the implementation of equipment such as ultrasonic sensor and cellular router for remote transmission and processing of information. Due to recent technological advances and the ability to use considerably small and practical telecommunications equipment for operations in free space, where previously required antenna installations on a medium scale, allow the implementation of a connection to the internet network, together with some protocols that this involves, the application of the internet of things is achieved, starting from the study of radio frequencies to protocols and network configurations to transmit and receive data in a safe, reliable and effective way from a remote point to its destination. The integration of this system through terrestrial wireless waves, such as cellular communication, capable of reaching places where wiring is a high cost factor and the least viable, being this the technique addressed in this topic as a way to access information from the physical area of study.
