Lora long range sensors for farming

Battery powered ultra long range Lora radio network

Sensing temperature, soil moisture, humidity is critical for growing healthy crops and orchards, building sensors which can do just that without the hassle of having expensive infrastructure has been problematic. We have used battery powered Lora sensors for ranges spanning kilometers for collecting telemetry data from a range of sensors. Lora is a breakthrough technology which enables us to build low cost sensing networks which can span kilometers in remote areas where power and cellular network is inaccesible.

About Us

 

Founded by two experienced engineers with a passion for innovation and a track record of success, T4tech brings over 15 years of industry expertise to every project.

Our founders hold a patent for a unique networking technology and have contributed substantial improvements to the open‑source Linux operating system. We believe technology should be accessible to everyone—so we design our products and services to be straightforward, intuitive, and focused on solving real‑world problems.

At T4tech, we specialize in developing technology prototypes that help businesses explore new market segments or solve existing problems in a cost-effective manner. We have the experience and a deep understanding of the latest technologies, we have the expertise to develop both the electronics and software stack required to build complete solutions that take you from concept to PCB design to production.

Whether you are a startup looking to test out a new concept or an established business seeking to improve your existing products or services, we have the knowledge and resources to help you succeed. Our focus is on creating solutions that are both innovative and practical, with a strong emphasis on user-friendliness and reliability.

Through our prototype development services, we aim to help businesses of all sizes achieve their technology goals in a cost-effective and efficient manner. We look forward to working with you to bring your ideas to life and create solutions that make a real impact.

1. Intelligent Solutions (AI & Machine Learning)

We build smart systems that learn from data and help you make better decisions. From predictive maintenance that spots equipment faults before they happen to image‑recognition tools that automate quality checks, our AI applications save you time, reduce errors, and unlock new insights.


2. Connected Devices (IoT & Remote Monitoring)

Imagine having real‑time visibility into your assets—whether it’s tracking the health of farm equipment miles away or monitoring temperature and humidity in a wine cellar. Our Internet of Things (IoT) platforms link sensors, networks, and dashboards into one simple interface. You’ll always know exactly what’s happening, wherever you are.


3. Industrial Automation & Controls

Manual processes can slow you down and introduce risk. We design robust automation systems that take over repetitive tasks—think robotic pick‑and‑place, PLC‑driven assembly lines, or custom control panels. The result? Faster production, consistent quality, and a safer workplace.


4. Precision Sensing & Instrumentation

Good data starts with the right sensors. We integrate a wide range of sensing technologies—pressure, flow, motion, environmental, you name it—to measure exactly what matters for your business. Our turnkey solutions collect, calibrate, and transmit reliable readings so you can optimize performance and prevent costly downtime.


5. Machine Control & Integration

Bringing new machines into your facility or modernizing legacy equipment can be daunting. Our specialists handle everything—from wiring and motor control to user interfaces and safety interlocks—so your machines talk seamlessly with each other and your central control system. The outcome is a cohesive operation that’s easy to manage and scale.
