New Zealand and South Pacific to utilize the
LoRaWAN® standard to anticipate and mitigate droughts
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading global supplier of
high performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and
advanced algorithms, announced a collaboration with New Zealand’s
IoT Ventures and global connectivity provider Lacuna Space. IoT
Ventures has used Semtech’s LoRa® devices to develop its Drought
Early Warning System, a network of low-cost rainwater tank and rain
monitors to analyze water consumption and rain forecasts in remote
New Zealand and South Pacific Island communities.

The water monitoring system features ultra-low power, small
form-factor sensors, which are solar powered and provide an
in-field life of seven to 10 years without intervention, according
to IoT Ventures. In addition, the Drought Early Warning System is
starting to use Semtech’s Long Range-Frequency Hopping Spread
Spectrum (LR-FHSS) satellite connectivity to seamlessly integrate
with a terrestrial network using LoRaWAN, delivering a flexible
solution for isolated locations, and can be deployed and managed by
local citizens without requiring substantial internet service
provider (ISP) infrastructure.
“The remote location of many Pacific Island countries makes it
challenging to provide emergency water supplies during droughts,
and if an island runs out of water, it may take several weeks for
water to be transported,” said Matt Hector-Taylor, co-founder at
IoT Ventures. “By combining low-cost sensors with LoRa and strong
connectivity signal capabilities, the joint solution helps provide
consistent access to clean drinking water for citizens of some of
the most remote islands in the world, supports the United Nations
Sustainability goals and reduces crisis response.”
Droughts threaten water supplies, and water waste is already a
crucial issue worldwide. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
estimates that as much as 50% of the water we use outdoors is lost
due to wind, evaporation and runoff caused by inefficient
irrigation methods and systems. By implementing a smart water
monitoring infrastructure comprised of sensors and gateways using
LoRa devices and the LoRaWAN standard, governments and utility
providers proactively and efficiently collect data to streamline
operations to manage costs and appropriately allocate resources.
LoRa-enabled solutions are key to realizing the true value of the
IoT and specifically, reduce water waste and quickly identify and
optimize a community’s water distribution network. Solutions
utilizing LoRa empower utility providers worldwide with smart,
sustainable and efficient management capabilities.
“As climate change affects water availability worldwide,
Semtech’s LoRa devices and the LoRaWAN standard help governments
anticipate and mitigate water supply issues,” said Marc Pégulu,
vice president of IoT product marketing and strategy for Semtech’s
Wireless and Sensing Products Group. “The Drought Early Warning
System from IoT Ventures and Lacuna Space will provide communities
scalable, highly-accurate resource management capabilities.”
