Sub-GHz wireless mesh solution for precision farming
Precision farming/agriculture is about using electronics and communication technology to monitor the growth of crop and also provide water, fertilisers, and any resources for the growth and also protecting crop from diseases. Here in this article we are talking about a solution by company in providing right amount of water for the crops using wireless control tech. Using soil moisture sensors and water valves, the right amount of water can be fed to plants by having wireless monitoring and control of flow of water throughout the agricultural farm land.
The wireless solution provider Radiocrafts, is offering Sub-GHz wireless mesh solution calld RIIM to manage automatically smart irrigation system.
This new wireless system supports connectivity to devices where mobile network coverage is not available. By providing reliable communication, this system enables collection of moisture sensor data and also control valves.
The solution is embedded in a RF module which uses a wireless network without any license fees. The mesh network is self-forming, self-feeding and self optimising, and it covers wide area of 80 to 80 kms, with a communication distance range of 1400 meters between devices. A single router can control thousand devices.
RIIM Supports adoptive frequency agility for high throughput and maintains time synchronisation by also featuring faulting node detecti...
