Up to now, backend connectivity of Hydrascout moisture probe for agriculture relied solely on cellular networks coverage, whether in 2G/3G/4G.
This constraint resulted in limitation of the number of probes per exploitation, because of:
1. the absence of a reliable network coverage at the probe location,
2. the additional costs induced by the need to connect each probe to a gateway (external box, cable & connectors, cellular modem & SIM card subscription).
Limiting the number of probes for reasons external to the desired goal (i.e. measuring soil moisture at a precise and useful location) limits the accuracy of the system.
With ORAMA-Net modem inside its Hydrascout probe,
HSTI improves its range by opening the way to a more precise measurement that is less costly to implement.
ORAMA-Net removes the limitations that were previously imposed on this use case:
1. the probes organize themselves automatically to form a
private network that can cover a radius of up to 9km
(i.e., 25,000 hectares)
2. Network just needs a single gateway in a location where safety & connectivity are ensured, whether via Ethernet, Wi-Fi or 4G, and if necessary, a single cellular subscription instead of N for N probes.
By “connecting deep all”, #LoRa Multi-Hop ORAMA-Net brings new opportunities to HSTI.
