Description

Technical Architecture of GPS IoT Enabled Smart Agriculture

The architecture of GPS IoT Enabled Smart Agriculture comprises multiple layers:

Device Layer: IoT devices, such as GPS-enabled sensors, drones, and machinery, collect environmental, soil, and crop data.
Connectivity Layer: Low-power wide-area networks (LPWAN), 4G/5G, and satellite communication transmit data to central systems.
Edge Processing Layer: On-site processing units analyze real-time data to provide actionable insights, reducing latency.
Cloud Integration Layer: Data is sent to cloud platforms for storage, advanced analytics, and machine learning applications.
Application Layer: End-users access data through web or mobile interfaces to monitor, control, and optimize agricultural processes.

GAO Tek ensures seamless integration across these layers, leveraging our expertise to enhance operational efficiency.
