LoRaWAN helps with recovery of koalas after wildfire
summary
The Things Network: https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/ A compact WaterSense device using LoRaWAN measures up to 2.5 m from an 80 mm mount, fits narrow pipes, sends periodic and movement-triggered updates, and runs on two AAA batteries for up to five years in lab tests. Deployed on Kangaroo Island to monitor koala water tanks. A satellite variant with Lacunae Space adds coverage off-network. Claimed impact includes 35–85% peak reduction for rainwater buffering; units are in production and certified.
