Abstract

Agriculture is an important sector in Malaysia because it contributes to the economic development of the country. Hence, the technology related to agriculture is growing rapidly in line with the market demand. This includes the technology related to Internet of Things (IoT) in agriculture industries which requires access to the internet. However, most farms and ranches are in rural areas that do not have access to cellular network or GSM coverage. To solve this problem, an alternative network infrastructure is required to allow IoT application to be implemented for precision farming. LoRaWAN IoT solution offers low power consumption device to communicate over up to 10km range from its gateway. Therefore, this project aims to utilize the advantage of LoRaWAN capability to enable large scale precision farming by monitoring the important parameters for optimized output. The project will monitor the soil pH, surrounding temperature, humidity of crop and the moisture level of the soil and enable farmer to monitor the real time data collected by the sensors that scattered across the farm using ThingSpeak IoT Platform. For further validation of the function of the LoRaWAN gateway, the prototype of this project is used to determine the range of connectivity and the signal strength using The Things Network and Cayenne LPP.
