Australian farms, vineyards, and rural operations face a unique challenge when it comes to monitoring their assets and environmental conditions. Vast distances, harsh weather conditions, and a lack of reliable internet or power sources make traditional monitoring methods costly and ineffective. That’s why more and more agricultural businesses across Australia are turning to LoRaWAN—Long Range Wide Area Network—as the smart, scalable solution for real-time data collection across expansive, off-grid environments.

​

LoRaWAN is a low-power wireless communication technology that allows sensors to transmit data over several kilometers with minimal energy use. This means battery-powered sensors can last for years in the field without needing to be replaced or recharged. Unlike short-range Bluetooth or Wi-Fi systems, LoRaWAN allows for seamless communication from paddocks, silos, tanks, and remote infrastructure to a central gateway that then uploads data to the cloud. With one gateway, you can connect multiple devices spread across your property—eliminating the need for trenching cables, building networks, or relying on expensive cellular connections.

​

At Prosense, we provide a wide range of LoRaWAN-enabled sensors tailored for agricultural use. These include sensors for monitoring soil temperature and moisture levels—ideal for irrigation planning and crop health tracking—as well as water tank level sensors to prevent shortages or overflows in livestock and irrigation systems. Additionally, our solutions extend to weather monitoring with sensors that collect rainfall, temperature, humidity, and wind data, helping farmers better understand microclimates and make data-driven decisions.

​

All this data is transmitted directly to a cloud-based dashboard, giving users instant access from their smartphones, tablets, or desktops. Farmers can check water levels, track soil conditions, and receive alerts if any readings fall outside safe or optimal ranges. Whether you're on the farm or in town, you stay connected to your land, assets, and climate in real time.

​

By integrating LoRaWAN into agricultural operations, rural businesses gain the ability to increase productivity, reduce manual labour, conserve water, and make better agronomic decisions. It’s a transformative technology that enhances precision agriculture while remaining affordable and practical for farms of all sizes.

​

Prosense is proud to support Australia’s farming industry with reliable, field-tested LoRaWAN solutions that stand up to tough conditions and deliver real value. Our monitoring systems are designed to be simple to install, easy to scale, and require minimal maintenance, making them perfect for remote and regional areas.
