The LoRa Alliance® and Connected Farming Solutions at World Ag Expo 2020
Every year, major stakeholders in the North American agricultural network meet at World Ag Expo, one of the continent’s largest annual agriculture events. This year, the event will take place February 11 – 13 in Tulare, one hour south of Fresno in the heart of California’s Central Valley, where farmers produce more than one fourth of all U.S. food and one fifth of all U.S. dairy products.
This year, the LoRa Alliance® will have a booth at this show for the first time, and members will present some of their most advanced farming solutions using Semtech’s LoRa® devices and the LoRaWAN® protocol. More and more Internet of Things (IoT) solutions in the farming vertical market are leveraging LoRa-based sensors and LoRaWAN-based long range networking. The benefits of this particular low power wide area networking (LPWAN) platform include ease of deployment, long battery life and no dependency on Cellular operators.
