Connect nearby farm measurement points through LoRaWAN
Compare the field nodes, regional radio plan, gateway position and receiving network for a cluster of tanks or wells.
Check the complete path from the sensor to the application
| Choice | What to compare | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Sensor and field node | Native LoRaWAN instrument or a compatible node for a wired sensor | A wired probe alone cannot join the radio network |
| Radio path | Regional frequency plan, antenna placement and field coverage | Check terrain and obstacles with a site sketch and pilot |
| Gateway backhaul | Power and an available network connection | Confirm service ownership and outage behaviour |
| Data destination | Network server, decoder and farm application | Verify point identity, unit and observation time after decoding |

Common questions
Can one outdoor LoRaWAN gateway cover several farm or utility tanks?
Coverage depends on the regional frequency plan, terrain, obstacles and antenna positions. Use the point locations and a site pilot to check reception and delivery at each tank, along with gateway power and backhaul.
