Root-Zone Networks: Making the Underground IoT Practical at Farm Scale

Root-Zone Networks: Making the Underground IoT Practical at Farm Scale

Underground farm sensors are becoming viable, overcoming soil-hostile radios, power, and materials via magnetic induction, acoustic links, backscatter, and energy harvesting. Robust packaging and conservative sensing (moisture, temperature, EC) feed models for irrigation and fertilization. Surface relays and ROI from water, fertilizer, and labor drive adoption, with environmental stewardship emphasized.
