Despite the significant advances made by wireless sensor network research, deployments of such networks in real application environments are fraught with significant difficulties and challenges that include robust topology design, network diagnostics and maintenance. Based on our experience of a six-month-long wireless sensor network deployment in a large construction site, we highlight these challenges and argue the need for new tools and enhancements to current protocols to address these challenges.
