Demonstration experiments to establish optimal irrigation management were carried out in the region of southern part of Mie prefecture. A FieldServer was installed in a mandarin orange farm to measure environment factors such as air temperature, soil moisture contents, etc. and to obtain images of trees and fruits. Housing for high resolution camera was developed to be adopted in the field. Continuous recording of high-resolution images was successful over a long term. Moreover, both satellite and mobile data communication services were evaluated and it was shown that FOMA data communication services would be useful as an Internet connection at agricultural farm
