Recently there has been a growing interest in short-range, densely deployed wireless sensor networks. There are many applications involving environmental monitoring, which require ad-hoc communications over distances up to 10km, which is beyond the less than 300m range of present ad-hoc networks. This paper describes a proposed long-range wireless sensor network and discusses the development of a suitable long-range ad-hoc propagation model to predict the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) for radio links over irregular terrain. It is shown that the SNR for such links can be approximated using a Rician distribution and an example of SNR prediction for a proposed rural test site is described.
