Welsh farms install smart sensors to capture crucial data
Numerous Welsh farms have installed low-powered smart sensors that exploit wireless technology, helping capture important data for their businesses.
LoRaWAN (Low Power Long Range Wide Area Access Network) radio frequency is not new – it is used globally in a multitude of situations. It is especially beneficial in rural areas where communications infrastructure can fall short but it hasn’t been used extensively in Wales until now. The Welsh government's Farming Connect scheme is funding the installation of LoRaWAN gateway devices on eighteen farms across Wales.
