Our Solutions
We have developed a number of sensor modules that address some of the most common issues facing farmers today:
- Farm security
- A gate open/closed detector that provides an email and/or SMS alert on the gate opening.
- A passive infrared (PIR) motion detector that provides an email and/or SMS alert on motion detected.
- Water for stock or irrigation
- A tank or trough level detector that provides an email and/or SMS alert on low water level.
- Livestock GPS tracking
- A solar powered collar tracker that provides a continuous animal position update to an online map and an email and/or SMS alert if the animal leaves a paddock or the property.
- Asset GPS tracking
- A solar powered tracker module that provides a continuous position update for a mobile asset (e.g. tractor) to an online map and an email and/or SMS alert if the asset leaves the property.
Mote Net invites farmers to express interest in being part of our Pilot Program commencing April 2019. Click here for more information.

LoRaWAN Technology
Our technology uses a long-range wireless system known as LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network), it is a network protocol based on a new wireless technology to communicate up to 15 km in outdoor locations. This technology allows for a low cost way to collect and display remote data. The protocol is a global standard, it is encrypted and highly secure. You can find out more about this technology here: https://www.lora-alliance.org/what-is-lora
You will need mobile phone network coverage at least over some part of your farm for our system to be viable.
Our Services
Mote Net is currently focused at delivery of its Smart Farm System to WA farmers.
We have a Pilot Program commencing for that system – if you are interested click here. We also have diverse skills in other applications for LoRaWAN wireless communication, including sensor development, gateway design, LoRa middleware, backend and website development.Please contact us if you have a relevant application that our skills might be you able to assist you with.
