5 years experience with LoRa in agriculture
summary
Five years of LoRaWAN deployment in agriculture translates to concrete results not promises: Vinduino field stations with solar-battery power and gateways (prefer Wi‑Fi gateways and external antennas) deliver 50–60% water savings by automating irrigation from soil moisture profiles (two or more depths per zone) and weather models, and a water meter feedback loop detects leaks or blockages. Coverage often works without line‑of‑sight due to reflection and diffraction. Sensor tradeoffs: watermark (water potential) versus capacitive (volumetric) readings.
