REAL USE CASE SOLUTION Sensoterra provides low-cost, wireless and remote systems that offer farmers detailed insight into the soil moisture levels in their fields. Soil is not homogenous, and holds moisture differently in various areas and depths. e company utilizes Semtech's LoRa® devices in its probes, and a LoRaWAN® network infrastructure provided by Senet, a leading provider of global connectivity and IoT network service provider, to collect detailed irrigation data for analysis. To date, Sensoterra has deployed over 5,000 LoRa-based sensors and achieved over 60 million data points in more than 30 countries worldwide. In a recent deployment, an Idaho potato grower leveraged Sensoterra solutions to reduce water consumption up to 30 percent. SIMPLE INSTALLATION A key feature of Sensoterra's soil moisture system, LoRa-enabled multi-depth probes install in a matter of minutes without external wiring or additional infrastructure. WIRELESS INTERACTION Within an hour aer installation, data is viewable online with a downloadable application. Accessible on a laptop, tablet or mobile phone, the app offers users the ability to manage their installations through an easy to use dashboard and an open API for data integration. INTELLIGENT MANAGEMENT Optimized irrigation scheduling and farm management reduces water use while creating healthier crops and increased yields. Due to increased yield, decreased field inputs and improved soil health, growers implementing Sensoterra's solutions typically see ROI in less than one growth season, no matter the crop.
