TL;DR
The article discusses the challenges of tracking assets on large-scale plantations using traditional cellular GPS systems and presents a low-power alternative using LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network). Large plantations, such as those for palm oil or timber, often span thousands of hectares, making it difficult to maintain reliable connectivity. Cellular signals can be spotty, especially in remote areas far from infrastructure, leading to unreliable tracking of equipment and personnel.
