Remote Soil Moisture Monitoring
The Center of Environmental Inquiry desire a system to collect and transfer sensor data from a remote part of the Fairfield Osborn Preserve to the Education Center. There is a lack of infrastructure in place to allow cost effective data collection, being limited to expensive single devices or manual data collection.
Our LoRaWAN network helps the Center for Environmental Inquiry schedule and collect data remotely; avoiding manual data collection in remote areas of the Fairfield Osborn Preserve. It allows an increase in productivity with the same amount of work done by the end user and unlike existing solutions to the problem, it does not require a recurring fee for an LTE connection to operate.
