LoRaWAN-enabled livestock tracking system supports multiple positioning technologies such as GPS, WIFI and Bluetooth, giving farmers the ability to accurately monitor and track their cattle and sheep in real-time without worrying about any losses. Monitor water tanks, bore pumps, livestock, equipment, and weather across your entire property. LoRa technology works where cellular doesn't - covering 10-15km from a single gateway. Australian properties are vast. Manually checking water tanks, bores, and livestock wastes hours daily and critical. Using numerous connectivity options provided by M2M Connectivity, a Sierra Wireless Company, such as LoRaWAN®, LTE-M, and NB-IoT, PLF has managed to raise productivity and reduce operating costs for farmers by capturing vital sensor data and information on: “At the end of the day we want to be the. Australian agriculture is rapidly adopting digital technologies, from crop and soil monitoring to livestock tracking and precision irrigation. All to increase productivity, sustainability and operational efficiency. At the heart of this transformation is reliable radio communications and Internet. Real impact, real scale. 💪 Our LoRaWAN gateways are helping enable livestock monitoring for 500,000 dairy cows across Australia and New Zealand—proof that reliable connectivity can transform smart agriculture, even in the most remote areas. The collaboration features the implementation of Semtech's LoRa devices into Smart Paddock's GPS ear tag to monitor livestock location in real time as well as analyse the cattle's behavioural data to. LoRa technology can create low-weight and low-cost tracking devices that can be safely deployed on animals, thus establishing virtual fences to keep the farm animals in a confined area.
