Amsterdam, Netherlands and Sydney, Australia – MARCH 19, 2020 – Sensoterra, the pioneering force in wireless soil moisture sensor solutions, has entered into a strategic partnership with NNNCo to revolutionize land management decisions across the AsiaPac region. This collaboration empowers farmers, agricultural organizations, and councils by providing them with cutting-edge technology to make informed, data-driven choices, consequently reducing water consumption by up to 30%.
The significance of soil moisture data has amplified in recent years due to challenges posed by drier summers and deteriorating soil health. Sensoterra, already recognized for assisting farmers in Europe and the US, has been at the forefront in tracking soil moisture levels for various crops, including row-crops, orchards, and soft fruits like potatoes, alfalfa, almonds, hops, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
Bas Van Der Velden, Commercial Director at Sensoterra, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership:
“Sensoterra is delighted to announce our new partnership with NNNCo to bring our soil moisture technology to the AsiaPac region. NNNCo is providing local warehousing of our LoRaWAN AS frequency in Australia. Together we can provide connectivity and support for customers in the region, helping to unlock the potential for smart city and AgTech adoption. NNNCo will be able to offer both our single depth and multi-depth sensors.”
Sensoterra’s state-of-the-art soil moisture probes, operating on the AS923 band, are compatible with LoRaWAN networks across Australia and the Asia Pacific. Rob Zagarella, CEO of NNNCo, highlighted the significance of soil moisture data in Australia, stating:
“Soil moisture condition is a key use case in Australia to give farmers real-time insights that will help them to make better decisions and ultimately maximize their water usage, crop performance, and yields as well as improving operational efficiencies. NNNCo is very pleased to be working in partnership with Sensoterra in Australia to deliver this solution to farmers with a low-cost, low-power wireless system that delivers the results farmers need.”
