Understand
I will sit down with you and explain the basics of the technology I’m using…
Demonstrate
When we understand what is helpful to you, I do a few demonstrations…
Build
Using the base infrastructure that I have you can build it out..
Support
When you use the same technology and techniques that I use…
Rural
Communication & Sensor
The technologies we use are mature and sufficiently robust to make sense to a small operation. Australia’s telecommunications carriers are proud that they have “coverage” out to 99+ % of Australians. Unfortunately, as anyone who lives or works in remote areas will tell you, rural telecommunication is patchy at best. Telecommunications services – especially those moving data – are either unlikely to be available or don’t have the capacity in the locations where you are working.
Case Studies
Well – drones were all the rage about five years ago. I had studied geospatial information systems (GIS) at uni and started using drones for some of my geological interests.
Our carriers often spruik that they have telecommunications coverage out to 99 percent plus of Australians.
An interest in geology and a background in geospatial information systems became very handy for this project.
Odd Acres Apiary is an emerging business. I combine my knowledge of IoT and bees to maximise the productivity of my hives as well as improve their welfare by monitoring vital hive statistics and the surrounding microclimate.
I am working with Tableland Farming Systems to integrate my data to their portal so that farmers can have all the data relevant to their property in one place.
I was inspired by a post from Mat Kelcey using a Raspberry Pi to count bees at a hive entrance. I am doing a similar thing using technologies that interest me
