That’s a solid idea, but the field’s a whole different beast. The nodes have to survive rain, heat, and the wildlife that might chew them. Power is a biggie – batteries that last weeks, or solar panels that can handle low light. And then there’s the bandwidth: make sure the data can get out without pulling a lot of network traffic or getting jammed by other signals. Keep it rugged, low‑power, and give the animals a chance to move without feeling hunted. It’ll work if you treat the network like you treat the forest: simple, resilient, and respectful.
