TerraField takes conservation team comms beyond cell range
TerraField is a mobile app for conservation field teams that describes messaging, maps, SOS alerts, observations and tasks over a LoRa radio mesh when cell coverage is absent.
- For
- Rangers and conservation field teams working beyond cell coverage
- Worth noticing
- The walkthrough labels its reserve and people as made-up, so the screens are illustrative rather than deployment evidence.
Field notes
The documented workflow pairs a phone over Bluetooth with a TerraSense LoRa radio, relays messages and positions between radios, then bridges data to the cloud through a Nomad gateway or a phone’s restored internet connection. The page lists iOS 15.1+ and Android 7.0+ and shows features including offline maps, geofences, observations, tasks and an SOS control. Its interface example explicitly uses a made-up reserve and people.
