Sensoterra wireless soil moisture sensors use the LoRaWAN network to supply real-time soil moisture data to the cloud. Sensors data is forwarded by the LoRaWAN network to the Sensoterra backend to be decoded, and calibrated. All our sensors come with a two-year connectivity and data warranty, and may need a subscription renewal after the warranty expires.
LoRaWAN Connectivity
Sensoterra wireless soil moisture sensors use the LoRaWAN network to supply real-time soil moisture data to the cloud. Sensors data is forwarded by the LoRaWAN network to the Sensoterra backend to be decoded, and calibrated. Read more about LoRaWAN connectivity & data here.
A private gateway may be necessary to cover your farm. It's provides LoRa coverage over on average of 2.5 km, and it's set-up is fairly simple. Much like setting up a router for your own home wifi. The gateway collects the soil data from the sensors, and sends it over the internet to the Cloud where you can access the data from anywhere in the world with your smartphone (mobile device) or desktop.
Commercial LoRaWAN
LoRa, long range radio technology allows devices to communicated over relatively long distances, while using very little power. It’s the reason why our sensors can be left in the field, and have life-time of 5+ years.
The benefits of LoRaWAN
- Our sensors transmit and receive data over large distances (up to 2.5Km / 2 miles)
- Optimised battery consumption due to Low Power needs
- Standardization makes the communication platform very scalable
- Proven technology, globally available being used by millions of sensors
- We can ensure secure and encrypted data
Subscription & Renewal
All sensors come with a two-year LoRaWAN subscription from the moment you buy the sensors. We offer yearly subscriptions for LoRaWAN renewal for Sensoterra sensors after the warranty one-year subscription ends.
Renewal of the LoRaWAN & Data subscription for each sensor includes:
- 1 EUR per month (12 EUR per year, per sensor)
- Use of the Open API
- Use of the Sensoterra Monitor App
- Data Storage
- Data / Soil Calibrations
- Support
*An additional 12 Euros per sensor, per year is charged for commercial LoRaWAN network access.
If you have any questions regarding LoRaWAN renewal, please visit our website, or contact us at support@sensoterra.com
