LoRa and LoRaWAN
Modulation technology, property of semtech implemented in all semtech LoRa products SX12XX, SX13XX.
LoRa Technology is the DNA of IoT, connecting sensors to the Cloud and enabling real-time communication of data and analytics that can be utilized to enhance efficiency and productivity.
The LoRa Alliance is an open, nonprofit association that has grown to more than 500 members since its inception in March 2015.
Its members closely collaborate and share experiences to promote and drive the success of the LoRaWANprotocol

LoRaWAN modularity : a sustainable advantage for Smart Ag
Thanks to multiple network configurations, you can :
• Connect devices to an operated network for large field
areas as low number of sensors without having to invest
in a gateway.
• Expand an operated network by installing a gateway
where you need connectivity
• Create your own network in the farm by connecting your
gateway and sensor to your own network server
• Use a commercial network server from the cloud
(dedicated or shared offers) or create your own network
server from opensource offers
• Host your own network server on premise in a very
private configuration

Challenge: Cattle monitoring• The size of the heard is increasing and the farmer has to ensure quality,
health, productivity with less time per animal :
• Detecting heat on dairy cattle
• Detect calving time
• Detect sick cows in the herd
Dairy cattle monitoring
• LoRaWAN Operator : None, only private networks so far
• Solution Provider: itk/Medria, Lar.Tech, …
Solution/Benefits:• Heat detection increased from 45 to 95 %
• Calving detection reduces by 60 % the mortality on calfs and cows
• Health issues detected 24 to 48h earlier, reduces medication
consumption
www.semtech.com LoRaWAN™ Use Cases 40
Challenge: soil monitoring• The environmental pressure and race against better yield induces
• Need of better understanding the impact fertilization
• Reduce the use of treatments and prefer preventive ones
Soil monitoring
• LoRaWAN Operator : Senet, KPN, mainly private networks so far
• Solution Provider: Sensoterra, Teralytic
Solution/Benefits:• Continuous monitoring of soil gives better vision of impact of fertilizer and
allows adapated fertilization (20% reduction)
• Soil moisture monitoring will allow 20% consumption reduction in
irrigation water
