How many gateways are needed for a ranch?

Calculations cannot rely solely on circular area; factors such as terrain, surface area, tree cover, installation height, data backhaul, power supply, density, and on-site surveying must be taken into account.

Key features

Dual Sensor Livestock Monitoring:Capture ear surface temperature and step count data simultaneously to track animal health and activity status for precise livestock management.

Customizable BLE Broadcast Data: Modify broadcast content including device name, MAC address, battery level and sensor readings to match your cloud platform data access requirements.

IP68 Heavy Duty Waterproof Build: Fully resist water and dust ingress to keep stable performance amid wet barn, rain and muddy pasture environments.

Long Term Battery Anxiety: Avoid frequent ear tag removal and battery replacement; low power design delivers multi year service life to cut down livestock handling labor.

Weak Signal in Wide Pastures: No blind spot data collection on grazing lands; long range BLE broadcast lets gateways receive tag signals across open field farming zones.

Product Q&A

Q:What is a smart livestock ear tag?

Applications: Wireless identification, sensing, and platforms. Active ear tag: Powered by an internal battery; the chip periodically and actively broadcasts data packets (ID, potentially including sensor data), and a gateway receives the signals transmitted by the tag. Passive RFID: No battery; relies on electromagnetic waves emitted by a reader/writer. The tag's antenna captures energy to wake up the chip, which then transmits the ID signal back.

Q:What is the difference between BLE and LoRaWAN ear tags?

BLE is suitable for enclosed livestock housing and short-range applications; while ear tags are inexpensive, a large number of gateways are required. LoRaWAN is suited for vast grazing areas, offering long-range coverage and excellent battery life; although ear tags are more expensive, fewer gateways are needed, making it ideal for large-scale pastures.

Q:Which ear tag is suitable for indoor cattle farming?

Given the scale of the site, this combination of BLE ear tags and gateways is highly suitable, capable of achieving a transmission range of approximately 100 meters in open areas.

Q:Does the ear tag need a SIM card?

BLE/LoRaWAN ear tags generally do not rely on cellular SIMs for communication; the 4G backhaul for the gateway involves separate SIM and data plan requirements.

Q:Does a gateway with GPS locate every animal by GPS?

No. Explanation: The gateway's GPS only provides the gateway's own coordinates, enabling only zone-based animal detection; individual GPS positioning relies on the GNSS built into the ear tag.
