description Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been increasingly used in society and industrial environments. However, there are still several challenges in developing applications as well as in guaranteeing their operation in critical environments. There are many factors that contribute to these challenges, including the constraints and limitations of the sensor nodes, the noisy and interference environments, and the differences between WSNs and traditional networks. The main objective of this paper is to describe the project developed in the Department of Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Networks of Escuela Politécnica Nacional in Ecuador to use reliable solutions of WSNs to environmental monitoring as an alternative to conventional solutions. Resumen: Las Redes Inalámbricas de Sensores (WSNs) han incrementado cada vez más su uso tanto en la sociedad como en el entorno industrial. Sin embargo, aún hay varios retos en el desarrollo de aplicaciones, así como la de garantizar su funcionamiento en ambientes críticos. Hay muchos factores que contribuyen a esos retos, incluyendo las restricciones y limitaciones de los nodos sensores, los ambientes con interferencia  y ruido y las diferencias entre las WSNs y redes tradicionales. El principal objetivo de este artículo es describir el proyecto desarrollado en el Departamento de Electrónica, Telecomunicaciones y Redes de Información de la Escuela Politécnica Nacional de Ecuador, en el uso de soluciones confiables de Redes Inalámbricas de Sensores (WSNs) para monitoreo ambiental, como una alternativa a las soluciones convencionales.
