GroPoint Air - LoRaWAN Multi Segment Soil Sensor Converter User Manual
Introduction
What is GroPoint Air
The Dragino GroPoint is a LoRaWAN Multi Soil Segment Converter for IoT of Agriculture. It is designed to connect to GroPoint Profile Multi-depth Soil moisture and temperature profile Sensor and get GroPoint Profile’s reading and send it to IoT server via LoRaWAN wireless network.
GroPoint Profile is plug-and-play with GroPoint Air to get soil moisture and send via wireless. GroPoint Profile is powered by GroPoint Air, no need external power source.
The LoRa wireless technology used in GroPoint Air allows devices to send data and reach extremely long ranges at low data-rates. It provides ultra-long range spread spectrum communication and high interference immunity whilst minimizing current consumption.
