Semtech’s LoRa Technology Enables Smart Soil Sensors
20 Marzo 2018 - 6:00AM
World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit – Semtech
Corporation (Nasdaq:SMTC), a leading supplier of high performance
analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms,
announced that Teralytic, a manufacturer of wireless soil sensors,
implemented LoRa® devices and wireless radio frequency technology
(LoRa Technology) in its wireless sensor to detect nitrogen,
phosphate and potassium (NPK) levels in soil to help farmers reduce
waste and to improve crop yields.
According to recent reports, between 70% and 80% of agricultural
greenhouse-gas emissions, such as nitrous oxide, come from the
production and use of nitrogen fertilizers. Farmers need real-time
visibility into soil conditions while working in their fields.
During growing season, manual soil tests fail to provide the data
growers need and this can cause farmers to either over fertilize or
under fertilize, harming profits and/or the environment. The
Teralytic sensor is a battery-powered, meter long device that
farmers stick into the ground. Packed inside are 26 different
sensors that measure the surrounding soil’s NPK levels, pH levels,
soil moisture, temperature, and aeration, as well as the
temperature and humidity above ground.
“Lack of soil data during growing season lowers yields and
profits as well as harms the environment. Farmers want a solution
that allows them to maximize their profits,” said Steve Ridder, CEO
and founder of Teralytic. “With Semtech’s LoRa Technology, we’re
able to provide a sensor that is low cost, long-range and low
power, which is essential for smart agriculture solutions.”
“Teralytic provides farmers with real-time data so they are more
efficient with their fertilizer and generate better crop yields,”
said Vivek Mohan, Director, Wireless and Sensing Products Group at
Semtech. “Teralytic LoRa-based solution is empowering farmers to
leverage low cost, low power technology that enables them to
improve people’s daily lives and create a smarter planet.”
Teralytic will be launching its LoRa-enabled NPK soil sensor at
the World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit in San Francisco on March 20,
2018.
