Taggle Systems
Taggle Systems has developed a Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) radio technology which offers low-cost, low-power long range communications for many types of sensors and instruments. Using this new technology, Taggle is deploying Australia's only dedicated m2m network to enable the cost-effective collection of data from thousands of devices across very wide areas. Initially focused on utility-scale Automatic Meter Reading, the network is used by a number of councils and water authorities to gather data for use in leak detection, demand management, network optimisation and billing. Data is also collected from electricity, gas and flow meters, rain gauges and sensors including pressure monitoring, sewer overflow, temperature, humidity and soil moisture. Taggle's radio network is also very cost-effective for the sub-metering of large buildings and campuses including high-rise apartments, commercial buildings, hospitals, universities and the like. Agriculture is also benefiting from the use of Taggle's radio technology. Several universities are using Taggle transmitters for livestock tracking in their research while others are using them to help track stock which has been stolen. Soil moisture sensors, fence monitors and float switches are just a few examples of how Taggle is helping out on the land.
