What Farmers Say After Demo

"The dashboard is incredibly intuitive. I can see all my pivots at a glance and the alerts are immediate."

Johan van der Merwe Valley View Farm, Mpumalanga

"Finally, a system that works with my existing Agrico equipment without expensive upgrades."

Maria Botha Green Fields Estate, Western Cape

"The cost savings are real. We're monitoring 3 pivots for less than what one cellular system cost."

Pieter Kruger Kruger Irrigation, Free State

What We Do

LoRaWAN Connectivity

Long-range wireless communication covering up to 15km with minimal power consumption. Perfect for remote agricultural locations where cellular coverage is unreliable.

Real-Time Monitoring

Live tracking of pivot angle, pump status, pressure levels, and operational direction. Instant alerts for critical issues prevent crop damage and water waste.

Modular Integration

Vendor-agnostic platform supporting LoRa, GSM, and existing Valley/Agrico systems. One dashboard for all your pivots regardless of brand or age.

How We Do It

Panel Node

Advanced monitoring unit installed in your pivot control panel. Non-intrusively taps existing control signals to provide real-time status updates without disrupting your current operations.

Arm Node

Compact wireless sensor mounted on your pivot arm. Continuously monitors position, movement, and operational status. Battery-powered for months of reliable operation.

Network Infrastructure

Robust outdoor gateway creates a private wireless network covering your entire farm. Secure, reliable communication that works where cellular networks fail.

Our Story

pyp-Net was born from a simple observation: we realized we could do this better.

Farming IoT by farmers, for farmers. We understand the struggles because we live them - the endless drives between pivots, the wasted time checking equipment that could be monitored remotely, the frustration of discovering problems too late.

Our breakthrough came when we discovered that LoRaWAN technology, while widely used in smart cities, was virtually unknown in African agriculture. We saw an opportunity to bring enterprise-grade monitoring to family farms at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions.

Today, pyp-Net serves farms across South Africa, from the maize fields of Mpumalanga to the citrus orchards of the Western Cape. Our modular approach means farmers can start with basic monitoring and gradually add control capabilities, weather integration, and even AI-powered irrigation scheduling.

We're not just building technology - we're building the future of sustainable agriculture in Africa, one pivot at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about smart agriculture and LoRaWAN technology

LoRaWAN uses low-power radio signals to transmit data from sensors to gateways over distances up to 15km. Sensors collect data (soil moisture, temperature, equipment status) and send it wirelessly to a central system where you can monitor everything from your phone or computer.

A basic system for monitoring 1-2 pivots typically costs R22,000 - R40,000 including installation. This includes sensors, gateway, and setup. Most farmers see payback within 3-8 months through water and labor savings.

No! That's the beauty of LoRaWAN. It works without internet or cellular coverage. The gateway only needs a basic internet connection (which can be at your house or office) to forward data to the cloud. Sensors communicate wirelessly over long distances.

LoRaWAN sensors are designed for ultra-low power consumption. Most sensors can operate for 3-5 years on standard batteries, and some can last up to 10 years depending on how frequently they transmit data.

Absolutely! Our system is vendor-agnostic, meaning it works with Valley, Agrico, Reinke, Lindsay, or any other brand. We tap into the existing electrical signals, so no need to replace your current equipment.
