CHALLENGE
The most frequent challenge farmers face is how to
continuously monitor weather and soil conditions – and
adjust irrigation accordingly. In the current market, it is not
easy to find a smart agriculture solution that can handle all
the necessary sensors and correlate all the measurements
on one platform.
LoRaWAN
®
can enable smart agriculture by allowing farmers
to collect data from the various sensors deployed in their
fields and transmit that data to a unified cloud platform.
SOLUTION
TEKTELIC Communications, in partnership with Mockingbird
Consulting, offers the LoRaWAN
-enabled KIWI sensor. Once
deployed, the sensor measures soil conditions, such as
temperature and moisture, and monitors the ambient
environment, including light, humidity, and air temperature.
