Farm-wide from one gateway

Open-field range from a single gateway to a sensor. Hundreds of sensors, one subscription.

0 SIMs

Maximum compatibility, minimum bills

No SIM card, cellular plan, or mains power at the sensor. Built on the open LoRaWAN standard, with no vendor lock-in.

Up to 35%

Less water, published results

Water savings when irrigation follows real-time soil readings, across multiple published studies.

better informed, better harvests

The gaps we close

Poor cell coverage, no power in the fields, decisions made on habit and hope. LoRaWAN was built for exactly this terrain.

Field → Gateway → Phone

Probes at root depth report hourly. You irrigate when the soil actually needs it, not on a fixed schedule. Published studies put the water savings at 20 to 35%.

Storage temperature, tank levels, pump status, and animals leaving a boundary. The urgent things arrive as ordinary SMS or WhatsApp messages, so nobody has to open an app to act.

Sensors run 5 to 10 years on a battery and reach the gateway from 10 km or more in open terrain. Only the gateway needs power and a connection, and it can run on solar. A peer-reviewed trial in rural Mozambique ran exactly this where no telecom infrastructure existed.

We walk the land with you, propose in plain language, install and test coverage across your plots, then train your team and stay reachable. No long contracts. Support is month to month, and you own the hardware and the data.

real research, real results

What the published results say

We'd rather show you research than promises. These numbers come from published studies and industry case studies, with sources below.

Up to 35%

Less water

Proven where nothing else works.

A peer-reviewed field trial in rural Mozambique ran LoRaWAN soil monitoring on farmland with no electricity and no telecom coverage. A solar-powered gateway and battery sensors delivered reliable readings for the full study period. That is the same architecture we install on your land.

the things that decide your season

What we monitor

Soil moisture & temperature

Probes at root depth report hourly. You irrigate when the soil actually needs it, not on a fixed schedule.

typical probe: buried 20 to 60 cm · reports hourly · sealed IP67 · runs years on lithium cells

Weather & microclimate

Rainfall, humidity, and temperature per plot. Useful for spray timing, frost warnings, and disease-risk windows.

typical station: rain gauge + temp/RH · solar trickle · per-plot, not per-region data

Irrigation control

Valves and pumps switched remotely, or automatically when moisture drops below a threshold you set.

latching valve actuators · threshold or manual trigger · your rules, not ours

Water tanks & pumps

Tank levels, pump running status, and leak detection. Know a pump failed before the crop tells you.

ultrasonic or pressure level sensing · pump current monitoring · low-level SMS alert

Livestock & asset tracking

Battery-powered GPS tags on animals and equipment, with alerts when something leaves a boundary you draw.

collar or ear-mount tags · geofence alerts · no SIM per animal

Storage & cold rooms

Temperature and humidity in stores and cold rooms, with an SMS the moment conditions drift out of range.

temp/RH loggers · out-of-range SMS within minutes · full history kept for disputes
A note on honesty: sensors aren't right for every farm. If your plot is small enough to walk in ten minutes and you know your soil by hand, a weather station and a good routine may beat a sensor network, and we'll tell you that at the walkthrough, not after the invoice.

Open standard. Farm-wide reach. Yours to keep.

questions are welcome

Fair questions. Plain answers.

If your question isn't here, ask it at the walkthrough. Clarity is part of the service.

How a deployment fits together

Yes, that's the situation LoRaWAN was designed for. Sensors run for years on batteries and don't need any signal except the gateway's radio, which reaches 10 km or more in open terrain. Only the gateway needs power and an internet connection, and it can run on solar with a single cellular or satellite link. A peer-reviewed trial in rural Mozambique ran exactly this setup where no telecom infrastructure existed.

Typically one gateway plus a handful of soil moisture probes on your most valuable or thirstiest plot, and alerts to your phone. That's enough to prove the value on your own land in one season. If the numbers work, you add sensors. The gateway you already have will handle hundreds of them.

Honestly: it depends. The 20 to 35% figures come from published studies, and they're real, but your savings depend on how much you currently over-water, your crop, and your soil. If you already irrigate carefully, the gain is smaller. That's why our proposals state what we'd measure, so you can judge the system on your own numbers, not someone else's.

Four steps, no mystery. We walk the land with you and find where water, crops, or money are being lost, free and with no obligation. You get a plain-language proposal: which sensors go where, what it costs, what it should save, and what we'd measure to prove it. We install the gateway and sensors and test coverage across your land. Then we train you and your workers, hand over plain documentation, and stay reachable.

The dashboard flags any sensor that stops reporting, and battery levels are part of every reading, so replacements are planned, not surprises. Batteries last 5 to 10 years depending on how often the sensor reports. Swapping a sensor is a ten-minute job we can do on a support visit, or show your team how to do themselves.

The urgent things arrive as ordinary SMS or WhatsApp messages, like "Plot 3 soil is dry" or "Cold room above 8°C", so nobody has to open an app to act. The dashboard with charts and history is there when you want to look deeper, and we train whoever will use it during handover.

You choose: run it yourself with the documentation and training we provide, or keep us on a light support arrangement for changes, new sensors, and updates. There are no long contracts either way. Support is month to month. You own the hardware and the data.
