Wyld new Wyld Connect partnership (thanks to Tullynessie)3 Jan 2022 08:28
"This year, Wyld Networks partnered with South African company DFM Technologies to connect soil moisture sensors to low earth orbit satellites. DFMโs soil probes are multilevel soil moisture content and temperature-logging devices.
Probes measures moisture content and temperature readings at six depths in a soil profile and measure surface temperature.
Probes guarantee accuracy and reliability, as they are temperature compensated and are not adversely influenced by salinity levels.
They are affordable, easy to use and have proven reliability in the field. Through continuous soil moisture content logging, farmers are able to prevent over and under watering, reduce unnecessary crop stress, promote root development and improve fertilizer uptake.
Data collected by DFM probes is sent via Wyld Connect to the Eutelsat Low Earth
Orbit satellite network and then back to the DFM Probe Utilities Software, a userfriendly package that provides users with an abundance of information."
