|
||||
The Fenceless Grazing Collar System is an application of the LoRa and
|
||||
LoRaWAN internet of things technologies to animal farming. It will be
|
||||
implemented as a collar with which each individual farm animal will be
|
||||
equipped. The fenceless grazing system must be capable of precisely
|
||||
tracking high numbers of farm animals, controlling
|
||||
these animals using sound and electric shocks, and allowing end users
|
||||
(typically farmers) to monitor the animals and adjust their desired
|
||||
location.
