In view of the issue that the traditional cable networks can not undertake earthquake monitoring effectively, an earthquake monitoring system based on the wireless sensor networks is designed in this paper. The framework of monitoring system is analyzed, and the hardware structure of the nodes and software design of relevant functions are introduced. Based on flexible control functions of AVR microchip and powerful data transmission functions of 9XTend , the simplification of communication network topology is achieved. The system can be applied in the complex environments to monitor the areas where the cable networks can not work effectively and realize the catastrophe early warning and relief.
