Soil moisture, livestock tracking, and gate-state sensing across rural sites. LoRa-first because LTE coverage disappears at the fence line.

## The problem

Farms don’t have LTE coverage. They do have sunlight, batteries, and patience. A producer wanted soil moisture across irrigated fields, gate-state sensors on paddocks, and a way to know if a herd had busted through a fence overnight — without pulling fiber across 200 acres.

## What we built

Solar-powered LoRaWAN gateways at the property edge, battery sensor nodes in the fields and on gates, and a custom dashboard showing soil moisture trends, herd locations, and alert history.

## The outcome

Irrigation windows tightened based on actual soil data. Fence breaches detected in minutes. No more 3am phone calls from neighbors.
