Precision Agriculture Lecture 04 | Connected Farms, LoRaWAN & IoT

Build a connected farm as a reliable measurement system. This lecture explains how sensor nodes, radios, gateways and data services work together, and how to keep useful records through weak coverage, power limits and network outages. Topics covered: Sensor placement, sampling intervals and reporting schedules LoRa and LoRaWAN architecture, coverage and airtime Link margins, payload design, battery budgets and solar power Timestamps, buffering, replay, health monitoring and commissioning MQTT, UDP and TCP, with the limits of delivery guarantees Data quality, dashboards, alerts, interoperability and ownership Field cases cover vineyards, oil palms, water monitoring, irrigation services and farmOS.
