Specialized fields
Agriculture, field by field.

Agriculture is many different businesses on the same land. A grain farm reading soil moisture before it waters, an orchard fighting frost at dawn, a dairy barn watching its air and its herd, a greenhouse steering its climate, an irrigation district sharing a river, a plantation forest, a fish farm and a pastoral range each measure different things under different rules. Each field below has its own stack, radio, power and crew work, from the first order to the running operation.

01Specialized fields

Choose the field you work in.

Each field page sets out the operating context and hazards, what must be measured and under which rules, the stack from base unit to network, the work from order to operation, the data products and the cited sources.

Specialized field

Row crops and grain

Soil moisture and temperature by zone, field weather for spraying and disease, evapotranspiration for irrigation and satellite crop vigour, on LoRaWAN across the farm and cellular back to the office.The full field →
Specialized field

Orchards and vineyards

Frost watch at dawn, leaf wetness and disease risk, soil water for deficit irrigation and canopy cameras, on LoRaWAN across the blocks with alerts that wake the grower in time.The full field →
Specialized field

Livestock and dairy

Barn air and ammonia, heat stress, water and feed, animal welfare cameras and pasture water points, on a farm network that keeps the herd’s record and the emissions record in one place.The full field →
Specialized field

Greenhouses and controlled environment

Climate, carbon dioxide, substrate water and nutrient dosing, energy and outside weather for greenhouses and vertical farms, on the site network beside the climate computer, never in its way.The full field →
Specialized field

Irrigation districts and canals

Canal levels and flows, offtake deliveries, water quality, district weather and crop demand, on LoRaWAN along the canals and microwave to the district office, for fair and accountable sharing of water.The full field →
Specialized field

Forestry and plantations

Fire watch from towers, forest weather and fire danger, sound for illegal logging, growth and carbon plots and satellite change, on LoRaWAN, microwave and satellite across the estate.The full field →
Specialized field

Aquaculture

Dissolved oxygen, temperature and salinity at the pens, met-ocean conditions, feeding cameras and harmful algae watch for fish and shellfish farms, on cellular and satellite from the water.The full field →
Specialized field

Rangeland and pastoralism

Rain, pasture growth, water points and herd movement across open range, with satellite forage maps and drought early warning, on LoRaWAN and satellite where no network reaches.The full field →

02Solution bundles

Start with one unit. Grow to a network.

The same systems at every scale, on the open protocol, so nothing you buy is replaced as you grow.

  1. 01

    Base unit

    One station or node, specified for this industry: instruments, power, enclosure and backhaul.

    Build a station →
  2. 02

    Site

    A surveyed, commissioned site with its timing, its links and the evidence file a buyer can audit.

    Plan a site →
  3. 03

    Fleet

    Many sites run as one service: one plan, one update path, one evidence trail, one service level.

    Managed offers →
  4. 04

    Network

    Fleets that federate with partner grids through the open protocol, owner by owner.
