Why LoRa ?

LoRa Technology offers an

efficient, flexible and

economical solution to

real-world problems in

rural and indoor use

cases, where cellular and

Wi-Fi/BLE based networks

are ineffective.


Main advantages of LoRa


LoRa and LoRaWAN

Modulation technology, property of semtech implemented in all semtech LoRa products SX12XX, SX13XX.

LoRa Technology is the DNA of IoT, connecting sensors to the Cloud and enabling real-time communication of data and analytics that can be utilized to enhance efficiency and productivity.

The LoRa Alliance is an open, nonprofit association that has grown to more than 500 members since its inception in March 2015.

Its members closely collaborate and share experiences to promote and drive the success of the LoRaWANprotocol

LoRaWAN®


LoRaWAN™ networks worldwide coverage


Fastest Growing Technology Alliance


3 device classes


Independent, Robust, Scalable Geolocation

Distributed Reception- almost impossible to jam

Computation takes place in network

No Power used in device

All devices are locatable

Reception in the device is jammable

Computation in device or network

Device power and cost increased

Only supported devices are locatable

LoRaWAN Native Geolocation GPS or WiFi SSID based device


LoRaWAN modularity : a sustainable advantage for Smart Ag

Thanks to multiple network configurations, you can :

• Connect devices to an operated network for large field

areas as low number of sensors without having to invest

in a gateway.

• Expand an operated network by installing a gateway

where you need connectivity

• Create your own network in the farm by connecting your

gateway and sensor to your own network server

• Use a commercial network server from the cloud

(dedicated or shared offers) or create your own network

server from opensource offers

• Host your own network server on premise in a very

private configuration

Use cases…


Challenge: Cattle monitoring• The size of the heard is increasing and the farmer has to ensure quality,

health, productivity with less time per animal :

• Detecting heat on dairy cattle

• Detect calving time

• Detect sick cows in the herd

Dairy cattle monitoring

• LoRaWAN Operator : None, only private networks so far

• Solution Provider: itk/Medria, Lar.Tech, …

Solution/Benefits:• Heat detection increased from 45 to 95 %

• Calving detection reduces by 60 % the mortality on calfs and cows

• Health issues detected 24 to 48h earlier, reduces medication

consumption


Challenge: soil monitoring• The environmental pressure and race against better yield induces

• Need of better understanding the impact fertilization

• Reduce the use of treatments and prefer preventive ones

Soil monitoring

• LoRaWAN Operator : Senet, KPN, mainly private networks so far

• Solution Provider: Sensoterra, Teralytic

Solution/Benefits:• Continuous monitoring of soil gives better vision of impact of fertilizer and

allows adapated fertilization (20% reduction)

• Soil moisture monitoring will allow 20% consumption reduction in

irrigation water
