Smart Agriculture Solutions Based on LoRa
Smart agriculture solution Move it to the best of your ability
our country's "Digital Rural Development Strategy Outline" clearly states that "we must promote the digital transformation of agriculture" and accelerate the promotion of cloud computing, big data, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence in agricultural production and management. However, my country's agricultural digital transformation currently faces many challenges. my country's overall agricultural mechanization and automation control levels are still low. Due to the vast area of farmland, a large number of areas have no signal coverage, which brings challenges to long-distance data communication. At the same time, the cost of wiring to cover signals is also high, and later power consumption and operation and maintenance costs have also become key constraints. In addition, due to the complexity of plant growth conditions, even if the basic model of the plant database is established, the optimization of later models and algorithms requires massive data accumulation. When selecting the networking technology for agricultural scenario applications, after verifying the feasibility of various mainstream wireless communication technologies, it is believed that LoRa is the best choice in the agricultural field and can effectively help solve the difficulties in the digital transformation of the agriculture and forestry industry.
01 An Introduction Smart agriculture solutions use Semtech LoRa chips and smart gateways to upgrade traditional electronic control equipment to achieve remote intelligent control of various electronic control equipment, and provide software services through SaaS and PaaS platforms, integrating ecological data collection, artificial intelligence monitoring management, Remote device control and other functions are integrated. This solution can improve agricultural production efficiency and achieve the goals of efficient operations, cost reduction and efficiency improvement, and pest and disease prediction. The solution supports a variety of IoT hardware devices, including solenoid valves, distribution boxes, electric doors, filters, lights, etc. commonly used in agriculture, and combines the data generated by these devices with soil temperature, humidity, and PH collected by sensors. Value, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other data are transmitted to the cloud platform based on LoRa and communication networks.
02 Solution advantages Long distance and wide coverage: LoRa supports long-distance coverage and can cover vast farmland. In agricultural applications without building obstruction, using the LoRa EdgeTM platform can greatly improve positioning accuracy. Low deployment cost: LoRa-based networking is more convenient and does not require rewiring and equipment development, which can reduce early deployment costs, make later operation and maintenance more convenient, and have low maintenance costs. Ultra-low power consumption: LoRa-based devices can operate on battery power for several years. Private networks: Some farmland is in remote locations and may not have cellular coverage around it. Based on LoRa, unlicensed frequency bands can be used to build a secure and controllable private Internet of Things. Support high communication volume: LoRa-based base stations can process millions of messages every day. Such high communication volume has an absolute advantage when deploying large-scale agriculture and forestry industries. At the same time, LoRa ensures that all communications follow AES128 end-to-end data transmission encryption.
