THE TAG

DOES THE

WORK.

You already manage your livestock manually in HerdSense. The smart ear tag clips on and starts doing it automatically — GPS position, temperature, activity, heart rate — every 15 minutes, from anywhere on your farm. No SIM card. No manual readings. Just data.

THE BASE STATION

One gateway.
Whole farm covered.

The LoRa gateway base station mounts on a high point on your farm — a barn roof, a hillside, a tower. It collects signals from all tags within range and forwards data to the cloud over your existing internet connection (4G or fixed line).
