Challenges Facing Agriculture and Digital Transformation
summary
Focuses on concrete deployments and tools not vague promises: LoRaWAN networks get built where carriers don’t reach using off-grid gateways (solar/wind) and shared routing via the packet broker, with one project putting 75 gateways in the Yakima Valley to prove 20–40 km coverage. Offers integrations: preconfigured gateways and sensors, device repository payload decoders, reuse of old sensors (SDI‑12, pulse meters), and simple low‑risk apps (temperature probes for grain fires). Hardware availability and field usability turn out to be the real bottlenecks, not the concept.
