Tour transcript

  1. Fields, four soil probes, one gateway and a weather station.
  2. One gateway on a mast covers the holding.
  3. Probes report moisture at depth for irrigation scheduling.
  4. A solar microgrid powers the site.

In this scene

LoRaWAN gateway
One gateway on an 18 m mast covers the holding; probes send a few bytes an hour for years on a battery. (LoRaWAN 1.0.4, ETSI EN 300 220)
Soil moisture probe
Moisture and temperature at several depths for irrigation scheduling. (OGC SensorThings API)
PV modules
Solar and storage power the gateway and the edge where the grid does not reach. (IEC 62548, IEEE 1547)
