In the remote, hazardous, distributed and external environment, such as radiation source, pollutant source and pipeline of petrol, water and gas, it is difficult to collect and send the necessary message in real-time by traditional monitoring ways. In response to this demand, this paper presents the design of wireless remote monitoring system solution that is based on the GPRS(General Packet Radio Service)and the MCU(Micro-programmed Control Unit). The reliability and real-time performance of the system have been proved through practical application in the engineering project.
