APPLICATIONS

Smart agriculture

Field-scale monitoring of soil, climate and livestock across areas with no power or cellular coverage.

← All applications

Agricultural deployments typically span tens to hundreds of hectares, with soil probes, weather stations, irrigation actuators and livestock trackers spread far beyond the reach of a single radio link. Solar- or battery-powered nodes relay each other's readings across the farm to one gateway back at the barn or farmhouse, hopping over terrain that would defeat a straight-line connection. Growers get one dashboard for the whole property instead of running cable or paying for a SIM in every field.

Smart agriculture field sensor deployment

THE CHALLENGE

Fields have no mains power and patchy cellular; wiring hundreds of hectares is a non-starter.

THE MESH SOLUTION

Solar/battery nodes relay each other's data across the farm to a single gateway at the barn.

TYPICAL DEVICES

  • Soil moisture probes
  • Weather stations
  • Irrigation valve actuators
  • Livestock trackers
