Build a solar-powered agricultural monitoring station with the nRF9160 — reporting soil moisture, weather data, and crop conditions over cellular to cloud dashboards.
Platform: nRF9160
Cellular IoT SiP with integrated LTE-M/NB-IoT modem and GPS. Perfect for asset tracking, remote monitoring, and any application requiring wide-area connectivity.
Use Case: Smart Agriculture Sensor
Solar-powered field sensor monitoring soil moisture, temperature, light levels, and weather conditions with long-range cellular or LoRa connectivity.
Why This Combination
The nRF9160's cellular connectivity eliminates the need for local WiFi infrastructure in remote fields, and its PSM/eDRX modes enable solar-powered multi-year deployment.
