1. CUSTOMER CHALLENGES
Distributed irrigation systems are difficult to monitor and control efficiently across large sites.
A dry irrigation tank, a failed field valve, or an incorrect watering schedule can affect an entire crop zone before operators discover the issue. In large farms and orchards, limited field visibility and distributed irrigation assets make these problems difficult to detect and manage in time.
Costly valve-control wiring
Installing power and signal cables across large agricultural areas requires trenching, materials and significant labor. Cables may also be damaged by machinery, weather, animals or field activities.
Irrigation without soil data
Fixed irrigation schedules may supply too much or too little water because they do not reflect actual soil conditions.
Manual water-level inspection
Installing power and signal cables across large agricultural areas requires trenching, materials and significant labor. Cables may also be damaged by machinery, weather, animals or field activities.
Complex multi-zone management
Different crops and field sections may require different irrigation times. Manually operating distributed valves makes scheduling and coordination difficult.
2. DAVITEQ SOLUTION
Wireless field monitoring and battery-powered irrigation control using LoRaWAN.
Daviteq combines soil monitoring, water-level monitoring and wireless valve control into one distributed irrigation solution designed for farms, orchards and multi-zone agricultural applications.
2.1 Solution Architecture
Daviteq field sensors and battery-powered valve controllers communicate through LoRaWAN to a gateway and application platform, enabling remote monitoring and irrigation-zone control.

2.1 How It Works
Daviteq’s wireless irrigation solution combines field monitoring and local valve control in a simple operating sequence. Soil and water-level conditions are monitored remotely, while irrigation schedules are configured for individual zones and sent to battery-powered valve controllers. Each controller stores its schedule locally, allowing irrigation to continue during temporary network interruptions.
Monitor → Review → Schedule → Control → Continue Locally
2.3 Recommended Daviteq Devices

2.4 Typical Configuration
A typical 4-zone irrigation site may include:
4 × WSLRW-SMT soil sensors — one representative sensor per irrigation zone.
1 × WSLRW-ULC or WSLRW-RLC — for irrigation tank or reservoir water-level monitoring.
4 × WSLRW-LSV or WSLRW-ISV — one valve controller or integrated smart valve per irrigation zone.
1 × LoRaWAN gateway — to connect distributed field devices to the LoRaWAN network and application platform.
Application platform — for remote field monitoring, irrigation scheduling and zone management.
Final device quantities and gateway requirements depend on field layout, number of irrigation zones, valve arrangement, measurement requirements and LoRaWAN coverage.
3. BENEFITS
Improve irrigation visibility while reducing field wiring and routine manual work.
Operational Efficiency
Fewer manual checks
Monitor soil conditions and irrigation-water availability remotely.
Lower operating effort
Reduce routine visits and inspection of distributed field assets.
Irrigation Reliability
Keep schedules running
Local irrigation schedules continue during temporary network interruptions.
Identify potential interruptions earlier
Remote visibility of water availability helps operators respond before irrigation is disrupted.
Better Field Decisions
Use actual field data
Soil and water-level measurements provide additional information when planning irrigation activities.
Manage by irrigation zone
Different zones can use separate irrigation schedules according to operational requirements.
Lower Infrastructure Burden
Less cabling and trenching
Battery-powered LoRaWAN devices reduce long power and control cable runs across the field.
Simpler expansion
Additional irrigation zones can be deployed without extending long control cables.
