LoRa is a communication technology suitable for low-power wide-area networks (LPWAN), which can achieve long-distance communication and shows strong application potential in the field of Internet of Things.
LoRa is a modulation method developed by Semtech. It communicates based on spread spectrum technology and has long transmission distance and low power consumption. LoRa's key technologies include Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) modulation technology, forward Error Correction coding technology, etc. These technologies ensure LoRa's long-distance communication, anti-interference, and low power consumption characteristics.
Application of LoRa in smart agriculture
Smart agriculture uses diversified modern information technology to supervise, manage and control many key elements in agricultural production. Through these intelligent technologies, we can obtain and sense environmental information such as humidity and temperature in a timely manner. LoRa smart agricultural application is one of the specific applications of the Internet of Things in agricultural production, operation, management and services. Smart agriculture formed by LoRa and LoRaWAN will automatically optimize and intervene in the agricultural production process, thereby improving the quality of agricultural products and enhancing the efficiency and competitiveness of agricultural production.
Meteorological monitoring: LoRa connects to meteorological sensors to realize real-time monitoring of temperature, humidity, wind speed and other meteorological data to optimize agricultural production plans.
Intelligent herd tracking: LoRa tags are used to locate and track livestock, making it easier for livestock farm managers to monitor the range and number of livestock activities.
Livestock health monitoring: Connect the health monitoring sensor to the LoRa network to monitor the livestock's body temperature, activity and other data in a timely manner to detect signs of disease early.
Smart irrigation system: Use LoRa to connect irrigation equipment and sensors to realize remote monitoring and automatic control of the irrigation system and improve irrigation efficiency.
