Russian Cows To Be Fully Wired With Semtech's LoRa Technology

Somewhere in Russia, there will soon be one (or many) herds of fully wired, trackable cows--thanks to a design win by Camarillo-based Semtech, with a Russian Internet-of-Things firm called lar.tech. According to Semtech, its LoRa wireless technology has been used to create an Internet of Things (IoT) cattle monitoring solution which uses its devices and wireless radio frequency technology to provide GPS tracking and biometrics sensors for cattle, which is being rolled out to ranchers. Semtech did not say how many cows are now being monitored using its technology, which it says uses its technology, plus GPS tracker and biometric sensor monitor the animals' vitals and whether animals have strayed from their designated areas.
