The Digitisation of Agriculture: Connecting the Farm to the Future
summary
Satellite IoT claim: global coverage solves remote connectivity where LPWAN or cellular never rolled out. Concrete builds: soil moisture sensors at 10–90 cm feeding seed trials for a one‑fifth‑largest German seed company, and an ear‑tag LoRaWAN node with temperature probe for cattle. Trials produce immediate telemetry but mechanical failures occur—probes sometimes fall out during handling. Operational numbers matter: 72‑hour early‑warning aspiration and deployments aimed at 30,000‑head herds and million‑head ranches, with cost, latency and power tradeoffs still unresolved.
