This paper proposes a remote information management system, called RIMS, which can be used as an integrated management tool in rangeland livestock industry. With RIMS, activities in widely separated remote sites can be effectively monitored and controlled at a convenient central location, such as the homestead, through the use of a dedicated UHF wide area radio network. Details of all the monitored information and activities can be stored in a central database for later analysis if necessary as part of the productivity management process. The design considerations of the radio network infrastructure are discussed in this paper.
