This paper proposes a solution for a relevant scientific and engineering problem of time saving
in wireless data transfer network design, based on software units for position calculation of
heterogeneous sensor units and mobile robotic devices, sufficiently significant for digital technology
advance in agriculture. A recommender software engine AgroWiNet is developed, including additional
radio units, enabling deployment of heterogeneous sensor devices and mobile robotic devices network
in the work area. Suggestions are given on practical use of the developed software system in agricultural
robotic systems, specifically in open ground settings. Today modern repeater networks are designed
manually, and sometimes installed in ad-hoc manner, without prior calculations, what entails excessive
labor costs on design stage, as well leads to solutions with suboptimal energy-efficiency parameters. The developed recommender system software allows to cut design time of such networks down to a few
hours, provides for the most favorable distribution of sparsely installed repeaters few in numbers, as
well has superior scalability and energy efficiency.
