Getting Connected with LoRaWAN
The project aimed to enhance the adoption and functionality of LoRaWAN technology among landholders in the Goondiwindi region. The project focused on addressing issues with previously deployed LoRaWAN systems and demonstrating the benefits of this technology through practical applications and community engagement.
One of the key activities was setting up a farm near Talwood with a fully operational LoRaWAN system. This farm served as a demonstration site to showcase the capabilities of LoRaWAN technology. The project also included hosting an ag tech field day at this farm, which attracted 29 attendees. The field day featured presentations on in-paddock cattle weighing, tech solutions for remote locations, and remote measurement of tank levels, rain, and electric fences. The event received positive feedback, with attendees rating it highly for its informative content and practical demonstrations.
The project also focused on troubleshooting and repairing existing LoRaWAN systems that were no longer functioning. As a result, several weather stations and gateways were restored to operational status, ensuring the functionality of the LoRaWAN network.
Overall, the project successfully demonstrated the practical benefits of LoRaWAN technology, leading to increased interest and adoption among local landholders. The hands-on demonstrations and community engagement activities helped build confidence in the technology and highlighted its potential to improve farm management practices. The project also emphasized the importance of ongoing technical support and system management to maintain the functionality of the LoRaWAN network.
