Soil Monitoring Solutions for Smart Farming
Telemetry2U’s latest solution is purpose-built for soil moisture and electrical conductivity (EC) monitoring. Powered by IoT and LoRaWAN technology, this system gives farmers and agricultural professionals accurate, real-time insights into soil health. By integrating reliable sensors, powerful analytics, and automated control features, our platform helps optimise irrigation, reduce water waste, and improve crop yields. It’s a smart, sustainable way to manage your farm with confidence.
- Multiple Sensor Options: Connect a variety of soil moisture and EC sensors to capture detailed soil health data in real time.
- Live Dashboard Access: Monitor conditions instantly with real-time graphs and alerts via an easy-to-use dashboard.
- Track Trends Over Time: Review up to 2 years of soil data to fine-tune your irrigation and fertilisation plans.
- Smart Irrigation Automation: Use sensor data to automatically control irrigation systems and save water.
- Alert Notifications: Receive alerts via email, SMS, or voice calls when soil levels fall outside defined thresholds.
- Comprehensive Reports: Generate full audit reports covering sensor stats, alerts, and calibration records.
- Simple System Management: Enjoy a clean interface that makes managing your connected devices simple and efficient.
- Extended Wireless Coverage: With LoRaWAN’s long-range connectivity, monitor large properties with minimal infrastructure.
Compare Soil Moisture Monitoring with LoRaWAN and NB-IoT
Telemetry2U supplies Dragino’s full range of soil moisture and electrical conductivity (EC) sensors, available in both LoRaWAN and NB-IoT models. LoRaWAN is ideal for large farms, using a single gateway to connect hundreds of wireless sensors with up to a 10km radius of coverage—great for dense, low-cost sensor networks.
NB-IoT, however, connects each sensor directly to the mobile network with a SIM card, using a narrowband signal that delivers superior coverage—even in rural or remote areas. It’s a great solution when you need reliable connectivity over a large geographic footprint.
Dragino SE01-LB/NB
Starting from: $195 AUD
Dragino’s single sensor soil moisture and EC nodes are ideal for monitoring at a single depth. They're easy to install and configure, making them perfect for small to medium farms, gardens, and greenhouses. These devices provide reliable and accurate data to support smart irrigation and fertilisation decisions.
Dragino SE02-LB/NB
Starting from: $265 AUD
For more advanced applications, Dragino’s dual sensor nodes allow simultaneous soil moisture and EC monitoring at two different depths. This offers deeper insights into soil conditions across layers, ideal for larger farms, diverse crop types, and research settings focused on maximising yield and efficiency.
