Sensoterra sensors communicate over the LoRa
network. This means the data is first sent from the
sensor to a gateway, which then forwards the data
to the cloud via an internet connection.
If you are installing your own gateway, the basic
rule is to
find free line of sight
from the sensor
antenna to the gateway antenna.
Objects like houses, barns, big trees, big vehicles
in the line between sensor and gateway could
obstruct the signal. Try to get the gateway antenna
up as high as possible to get a look over the fields
and think about the location of the objects when
choosing the locations of the sensors.
Ensuring good connectivity
