- Abstract
This paper describes the implementation of a communications system of low cost for early detection of extreme tide level variation in the Colombian Pacific Coast. A pressure sensor acquires data of tide level in situ. These data are transmitted wirelessly through of an antenna system to a receiver station such are processed and displayed in near real time through of a Tsunami Detect software which predicts and compares the tide level based on the calculation of the astronomical tide. The energy supply system is achieved through batteries and solar panels which can monitor different parts of Tumaco bay (Colombia), taking into account the vulnerabilities of this area of the Pacific in the presence of a tsunami. Initial tests and calculations show that the system is capable of transmitting sensor data to a distance of 3.78 km for point - to - point links with line - of - sight and operating in the UHF band using a low power consumption and ensuring a period of autonomy up to 3 days under conditions of low solar radiation.
