Demonstration highlights the mesur.io analytic platform, a "bulb" in the ground that transmits relevant data (light, soil moisture, round and surface temperature) and is powered by MultiTechs MultiConnect® mDot™. mesur.io combines securely integrated smart sensor technology with state of the art predictive analytics and discovery engines to enable accurate decisions.
The MultiConnect mDot (MTDOT Series), is a secure, CE/FCC & LoRa Alliance Certified™, ARM® mbed™ OS programmable, low‐power LoRaWAN™ RF module, that provides significantly longer range and improved radio performance compared to traditional wireless solutions—resulting in greater transmission range, edge decision making and reduced capital expense.
Panel: "AgTech IOT - Deploying sensor networks using Low Power Wide Area Networking (LPWAN)"
Michael Finegan, Director of IoT Business Development, will lead a discussion on public and private network communication options for agricultural deployments. Growers and AgTech enthusiasts will learn best practices on how to leverage crowdsourcing platforms to move from prototype to production quickly.

How to overcome GNSS limitations with RTK correction services
Although GNSS offers ubiquitous coverage worldwide, its accuracy can be hindered in some situations - signals can be attenuated by heavy vegetation, for example, or obstructed by tall buildings in dense urban canyons. This results in signals being received indirectly or via the multipath effect, leading to inaccuracy, or even blocked entirely. Unimpeded GNSS positioning in all real world scenarios is therefore unrealistic - creating a need for supporting technologies, such as real time kinematic (RTK) positioning and dead reckoning, to enable centimeter-accuracy for newer mass-market IoT devices.
