The combination of 4G livestock trackers and LoRaWAN can achieve complementary advantages and bring multiple benefits.
In terms of coverage, 4G networks have perfect coverage in densely populated areas, while LoRaWAN has strong penetration and wide coverage in remote pastoral areas, mountainous areas and other places where 4G signals are weak. The combination of the two can ensure continuous tracking of cattle and sheep in various environments and avoid tracking interruptions due to signal blind areas.
From the perspective of power consumption, LoRaWAN has the characteristics of ultra-low power consumption, which can greatly extend the battery life of the tracker and reduce the trouble of frequent battery replacement; 4G can quickly respond when a large amount of data needs to be transmitted (such as detailed data of cattle and sheep health monitoring) to meet high bandwidth requirements. The combination of the two can balance power consumption and data transmission efficiency.
In terms of data transmission, 4G is suitable for transmitting data with high real-time requirements and large volume, such as instant alarm information when cattle and sheep suddenly have abnormal behaviors; LoRaWAN is suitable for transmitting small amounts of data such as periodic location and activity status, reducing data transmission costs. The combination of the two can flexibly meet different data transmission needs.
In addition, the combination can also improve the reliability of the tracking system. When one of the networks has a temporary failure, the other network can serve as a backup to ensure the continuity of the tracking business, allowing herders to manage their cattle and sheep herds more confidently.
