Internet of Things America LLC (IoT America)has launched the US’ first IoT based soil monitoring managed services.
According to a press release by the company, these managed services are based on precision agriculture solutions and are designed to support rural businesses of all sizes in agriculture, oil and gas, transportation, healthcare, education, sports and municipalities.
The initial managed services offering provides solutions that track soil moisture and temperature for golf courses, city parks, universities and all types of crops such as orchards, vineyards, row crops, soft-fruits and horticultural land use for bulbs, flowers and tree care.
The company said the key to IoT America’s soil monitoring solution is in the data it provides. The dashboard delivers decision-making information for irrigation, including enabling water consumption reductions of up to 30 per cent, reduced manual labor costs and decreases in the number of irrigation checks.
Pete DeNagy, President of IoT America said in a statement, “As a managed service provider, IoT America brings the relationships, experience and know-how for our clients to easily leverage the incredible benefits of the IoT. These services enable precision agriculture and other innovative solutions that deliver a rapid return on investment, improve operations and conserve valuable resources.”
IoT America is leveraging a technology-agnostic approach to solving connectivity needs, including the implementation of low-power wide area network (LPWAN) technology.
