Australia uses LoRaWAN to boost Victoria’s AgTech sector

Farmers in Australia’s south-eastern state of Victoria are getting a helping hand from a vast IoT network.

Deployed by Australian IoT operator National Narrowband Network Company (NNNCo), and funded by the Victorian government’s On-Farm IoT Trial, it uses the non-cellular LoRaWAN standard to connect a broad array of sensors. Various agriculture technology (AgTech) use cases have been trialed so far. These include keeping tabs on soil moisture and the weather, which helps farmers determine the best time and volume of water to use on their crops. Other uses include monitoring levels in water storage tanks and silos, and being alerted when gates are opened.
